LASER Talk: Navigating Grief, Fear, and Denial in a Time of Ecological Unraveling with Ruth Wallen and Beverly Naidus
Ruth Wallen will present Walking with Sequoias: Bearing Witness to Loss and Rebirth Ruth Wallen www.ruthwallen.net is a multi-media artist and writer whose work is dedicated to encouraging dialogue around ecological and social justice. After working as an environmental scientist, she turned to art to pose questions beyond disciplinary boundaries, address values informing environmental policy, and contribute to the developing field of ecological art. Her interactive installations, nature walks, web sites, artist books, performative lectures, and writing have been widely distributed/published and exhibited. Active in the border region, she has written about race, gender and visual culture, was a member of the multinational artist collective Las Comadres, and a Fulbright Lecturer at the Autonomous University of Baja California, Tijuana. Committed to student-centered learning, she served as chair and core faculty in the MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts Program at Goddard College for many years. Her work is deeply informed by Buddhist practice. Beverly Naidus will present Art as Medicine and Compass Beverly (Bee) Naidus  www.beverlynaidus.net has attempted to subvert the dominant culture since she started to crawl. Despite discouragement from her family to choose art as a profession, creative practices like music, movement, image & altar making, and writing, claimed her. She found solace with plant & animal kin from an early age and identifies strongly as a pollinator and sees herself as part of growing mycelial networks. As a young artist, she achieved unexpected recognition in the NYC art world but was able to flee the competitive pretentiousness of that strange subculture by being offered gigs teaching art for social change at various institutions, both academic and alternative. Her partnership with her late husband inspired new ways of collaborating with community, activist movements, and the sacred. Her work has taken many forms from artist’s books to street art interventions. Her audience-participatory work has often been concerned with healing trauma and creating community through sharing vulnerable stories. She left academia in 2020 and is currently facilitating workshops as an independent including an online program called, “Art Medicine for Catastrophic and Transformative Times.” She is completing her second book, a fractured memoir, that will inspire readers to reimagine the world through healing stories, dancing with grief, and building something within that which needs to collapse to help future generations thrive.

On the way from Phoenix to Page, we passed through three areas with completely different geological features and vegetation. When we first left Phoenix, we saw columnar cacti on both sides of the road. As the altitude increased, the cacti and other low shrubs disappeared, replaced by tall pine forests, and finally the barren plateau with Danxia landform characteristics. It was amazing!
