Announcement: Urban Artists and Social Change Speaker Series: THE HIGH WATER LINE PROJECT

Please join us for the first event in the Urban Artists and
Social Change Speaker Series:

EVE MOSHER & THE HIGH WATER LINE PROJECT

Tuesday, December 4, 12:00-2:00 pm

Alumni Reading Room (third floor of the Library)
Pratt Brooklyn
FREE, with light refreshments

In a large scale public art work, the artist Eve Mosher walked,
talked, and chalked a blue line marking the 10-feet above sea level
point along the coastline of Brooklyn and Lower Manhattan, indicating the
areas that could be threatened by flooding linked to global warming.
The High Water Line Project documents, with photographs and a blog,
conversations and interactions that Mosher had with people about
global warming and social change all along the roughly 70 miles of
coastline that she covered between May and October, 2007. Eve worked
in partnership with The Canary Project, a Brooklyn-based arts
organization that focuses on involving the community on issues of
climate change. Eve holds an M.F.A. from Pratt Institute and a
Bachelors in Environmental Design from Texas A&M University.

Urban Artists and Social Change is a speaker series featuring artists
whose work critically and creatively engages with pressing social
issues in their city and community.

Sponsored by the Pratt Initiative for Art, Community, and Social Change
