The ARLIS/NA + VRA Joint Conference committee is delighted to announce our keynote conference speaker: Sarah Bergmann , Founder and Director of the Pollinator Pathway . Sarah Bergmann is a design thinker working across ecology, design, planning and culture. She is the winner of the Betty Bowen Award and the Stranger Genius Award, and her work has been praised by NPR , Popular Science , KUOW and GOOD . The Pollinator Pathway is a long-term project founded by Sarah Bergmann in 2008 that reframes our relationship to the planet. Based in design thinking and crossing ecology, planning and culture, the project is a physical response to the global transformation of landscape in the Age of Humankind. Its vision is to connect fragmented landscapes between cities, farms and wilderness via projects that, in cities, combine ecological design and underutilized space. The first Pollinator Pathway , a mile long by 12 foot wide corridor of pollinator friendly gardens built in planting strips, runs from 12th to 29th Avenues on Seattle’s Columbia Street. The Pollinator Pathway has been exhibited at the Seattle Art Museum and the Olympic Sculpture Park, and Bergmann lectures frequently to design and culture audiences, including at the University of Washington, the Henry Art Gallery, the Seattle Art Museum, Stanford University and TEDx . More information about Convocation awards and reception will follow. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/membership/join-arlisna Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.arlisna.org Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
