SUMMARY:Conversing with the Dead
DESCRIPTION:A Talk With Eiko Otake\n\n\n\n\n\nCredit: Maria Baranova\n\n\n\n\n\n“My Mother died a good death.

Having often explored themes of loss\, Otake performed Two Grave Markers at Green-Wood in 2020\, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

SUMMARY:Finding Peace\, One Piece at a Time: Managing Possessions
DESCRIPTION:Credit: Sheila Sund via Flickr\n\n\n\n\n\nOur personal possessions tell the stories of our lives. Each item nods to who we are and how we might be remembered. They may recall an event from childhood\, a well-earned accomplishment\, a treasured relationship\, generations that came before us. \n\n\n\nWhen we’re faced with downsizing our own personal belongings or sorting through a loved one’s possessions\, we’re confronted with a challenge. How do we decide what to keep\, what to share\, and what to donate? How can we “break up” a lifetime of valued belongings? It’s an overwhelming process\, but it can also be very rewarding. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrice: Free. Registration required.  \n\n\n\n\nGet Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVirtual EventA Zoom link will be in your confirmation email upon registration.\n\n\n\n\n\nRachel Kodanaz\, author of Finding Peace\, One Piece at a Time\, leads this workshop on how to manage your and your loved ones’ personal possessions. As a leading voice on the subject of sorting\, thinning\, and repurposing belongings\, she will engage in the how\, why\, and proven techniques of what to save\, what to share with others\, and what is best to get rid of. You will learn new approaches to organizing possessions\, develop skills to overcome perceived obstacles\, and build a timeline aligned to specific end goals. \n\n\n\nFree. Registration required.

SUMMARY:Lost in the Woods: Grief and the “Ennuipocalypse”
DESCRIPTION:Climate change is a heavy topic. Most of us are inundated with stories of its effects daily when we turn on the nightly news or scroll through headlines on social media. But how can we respond—physically\, emotionally\, or even artistically? \n\n\n\nFor photographer Julianne Nash\, it’s through her camera that she expresses her grief over this loss\, trauma\, and environmental collapse. Her work focuses on the excruciatingly slow pace of climate collapse through a geological time scale (what is often called Ennuipocalypse or Slowpocalypse). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrice: Free. Registration required.  \n\n\n\n\nGet Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVirtual EventA Zoom link will be in your confirmation email upon registration.\n\n\n\n\n\nIn her most recent series of photographic collages\, Julianne depicts the crisis on a micro-scale\, focusing on the subtle signs of climate collapse throughout the Northeastern US. As she grieves the loss of ecosystems\, Julianne creates surrealist collages that present her own grief within the changing landscape.  \n\n\n\nJulianne Nash is a New York City-based artist. She received her MFA in Photography Video and Related Media from the School of Visual Arts. She received her BFA in Photography from Massachusetts College of Art and Design with Departmental Honors. Julianne’s current work utilizes algorithmic digital collage techniques in combination with traditional compositing to create densely layered landscapes. \n\n\n\nThis program is part of Green-Wood’s Climate Week programming\, a series focusing on the grief and anxieties associated with climate change and how scientists\, artists\, and Cemetery workers can make a lasting impact. \n\n\n\nFree.
