The first panel, “Artists as Environmental Stewards,” features Tamika Galanis, Andrea Chung, and Sheldon Scott, moderated by Cornelius Tulloch. The panel will detail how artists from the exhibition reclaim and revitalize our understanding of nature through their lenses and how artists participate in and aid their ecological communities. 

The second panel, “Ecological Awareness and Action in South Florida,” features Kate Fleming of Bridge Initiative, Dr. Steve Davis of The Everglades Foundation, and Dr. Liv Williamson of Revive & Restore, moderated by Xavier Cortada. Each will share how some of South Florida’s leading ecological and artistic organizations are spreading awareness and making positive change. 

The afternoon will continue with curator-led tours of the exhibition by PAMM Associate Curator Jennifer Inacio. The evening will conclude with a special live set and coral mapping projections by Coral Morphologic to accompany happy hour.
