This program will begin with a lecture by visiting artist Tali Weinberg, as she shares how materializing climate and ecological datasets through art can reveal new ways of understanding scientific information. Weinberg will speak about her own body of work, sharing concepts and processes that have shaped her practice over the past decade.The program will also feature urban ecologist Lindsay Darling, PhD, from the Arboretum’s Science and Conservation team. Darling will discuss insights from her article, “Forests, history, and environmental equity,” which examines how shifts in the ecology of the Chicago region impact forest health, as well as access to nature. She will introduce key Arboretum datasets that illuminate the region’s ecological past.
Together, Weinberg and Darling will connect local data to global environmental narratives, offering participants a unique blend of science, history, and creative interpretation. This program invites audiences to see environmental information not just as numbers or maps, but as stories woven through both landscapes and art.
Those interested in creating their own woven interpretations of Arboretum data can register for a two-day weaving workshop led by Tali Weinberg. Workshop registration includes admission to the talk.
This program meets in person at the Arboretum.
