100 Year Anniversary of the Gila Wilderness: Lecture by Michael Berman

EVENT HAS CHANGED LOCATIONS: NEW LOCATION IS AT NEW MEXICO HISTORY MUSEUM (AUDITORIUM), 113 Lincoln Ave, Santa Fe, NM 87501

Celebrate the Gila Wilderness on its 100th birthday! Obscura Gallery, Wild Earth Guardians, and the New Mexico Museum of Art present a lecture by artist Michael Berman. Celebrate all that’s exceptional about the Gila Wilderness, with a particular focus on the long legacy of storytelling through art and literature that the landscape has, and continues to inspire, and how those stories draw the lines between imagination, conservation, and policy.

Through the magic of Berman’s photographs, and stories of place-based connection told by Berman, we’ll celebrate the wonders of this country’s first wilderness, and we’ll think boldly about what’s needed to protect this special place for the next 100 years.

The celebration event will bring together unique voices and perspectives on the Gila Wilderness’ long history of inspiring advocacy through storytelling and art. Following the talk at the Museum, the photographic reception will be held at Obscura Gallery from 5 – 7pm at 225 Delgado Street, Santa Fe

With stories of place-based connection, we’ll celebrate the wonders of this country’s first wilderness, and we’ll think boldly about what’s needed to protect this special place for the next 100 years.

A portion of the Obscura Gallery proceeds from the sales of Michael Berman’s artworks will be donated to WildEarth Guardians to continue their work in the Gila Wilderness.
