SUMMARY:Forensic River: Community Science & Water Justice with Isidora Fernandez
DESCRIPTION:Forensic River is a workshop with artist Isidora Fernandez where we will present a case for protecting life in our streams and rivers. We will also share the various methods of testing water we are involved in at NATURE Lab. We will ask participants to help us make strong arguments for the protection our waterways! This workshop is for all ages open to everyone!  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this public workshop\, artist Isidora Fernandez uses the facilities at NATURE Lab to further understand the injustices of the legacy of urban industrial pollutants such as sewage contamination and microplastics. Part of Fernandez’s month-long residency at NATURE Lab\, this workshop compliments our Water Justice Lab Source to Estuary Program and contributes to our growing NEA-supported Sanctuary Eco-Art Trail project. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIsidora Fernandez studied social communication (PUC)\, graduated in Ecotourism Management (UNAB) and did a Masters degree in Scientific\, Medical and Environmental Communication at UPF-BSM. During the last years\, she worked coordinating the Arts&Science department of Science For Change as creative producer\, developing exhibits\, designing science experiences\, participatory workshops and creative data collection methodologies for citizen science studies. \n\n\n\nScience For Change is a Spanish organization based in Barcelona. They work on citizen science projects\, promoting collaborative science. \n\n\n\n\n\nMediaSanctuary · Artist-in-Residence and the Legacy of Urban Industrial Pollutants in Hudson\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is a collaboration between the iEAR Presents series with support from RPI’s ARTS department and School of Humanities\, Arts and Social Science\, and from the New York State Council for the Arts/ NYSCA\, with The Sanctuary for Independent Media.  \n\n\n\nProgram background: Isidora Fernandez is our first Rubin Family Foundation Artist Resident at NATURE Lab. She will be in residence between June 21-July 21 2023 to work with the North Troy community. This residency will help lay the foundation for the future of NATURE Lab in North Troy by creating collaborative partnerships and programs that lead to creative solutions around our mission for social and environmental justice.  \n\n\n\nNATURE Lab has distinguished itself as a space that embraces the interdisciplinary areas of art and science. These art/sci practices place a distinct focus on an experiential engagement with life\, seeking to catalyze innovative collaborations that draw attention to aspects of the natural world that might otherwise go unnoticed. This area of art/sci thinks about the role of science in society\, how we can all get involved\, what stories we tell\, and how to actively integrate social reflection and critical awareness. \n\n\n\nNATURE Lab Coordinator\, Kathy High\, will lead this new initiative. This program promotes artists whose work focuses not just on art and science\, but also on some aspect of the political moment we are in\, acknowledging racial and environmental justice issues. Our focus this summer will be on Troy water quality. \n\n\n\nOn July 12 we will host a public workshop lead by artist Isidora Fernandez using the facilities at NATURE Lab to further understand the injustices of the legacy of urban industrial pollutants such as lead and microplastics.

He lives among his people\, who are originally from the Hudson Valley\, New York\, but now reside in Bowler\, Wisconsin. A spiritualist\, musician\, artist\, historian\, and sharer of knowledge\, Shawn has been fulfilling his path journey for the past few decades by doing a variety of sharing in his people’s ancestral lands as well as the Midwest. \n\n\n\nShawn describes himself as a “Helper” not only to his people but to all. He explains that his spiritual path is to share the many things given to him for spiritual direction and purpose. He does not have\, nor will accept\, any titles such as “Medicine Man” or “Shaman.” Shawn is also a traditional Native American storyteller\, drummer\, dancer\, singer\, and flute player. He is an ordained minister of the Universal Church of Light and a certified facilitator of White Bison’s Mending Broken Hearts. \n\n\n\nShawn has been fulfilling his path journey for the past few decades by doing a variety of sharing in his peoples ancestral lands as well as the Midwest. Shawn describes himself as a “Helper” to not only his people\, but to all of the Creator’s children. He explains that his Spiritual path is to share the many things given to him for direction and purpose. \n\n\n\n\nFlying Deer Nature Center (FDNC) is a nonprofit wilderness school and community dedicated to mentoring children\, youth\, adults\, and families in deep connection to nature\, self\, and others.\n\n\n\nOur work aims not only to teach naturalist practices and wilderness survival skills\, but also to foster in participants a lifelong relationship with nature and access to the gifts it brings: resilience\, creativity\, and the ability to listen deeply to ourselves and to others. We all need the benefits of connecting with the natural world and\, in like measure\, nature needs our care. This deep and reciprocal relationship with the earth is at the heart of our mission.  \n\n\n\n\nStockbridge-Munsee Youth  \n\n\n\n\nEleven Stockbridge-Munsee youth have journeyed from their homes on the Reservation in Bowler\, Wisconsin\, for a week of natural wonders with Flying Deer Nature Center’s summer camp. They complete their visit to the Northeast to discover and walk on the land of their ancestors: Freedom Square is located on settler lands of the village of Unawhat’s Castle\, where they will share with Shawn Stevens in songs\, games and Native education. After this public event\, the youth will have a radio workshop and boat rides on the Mahicanituck (Hudson River)\, who lived in harmony with nature for thousands of years\, before being forcibly removed from their ancestral lands. \n\n\n\n\nSanctuary Eco-Art Trail project: \n\n\n\n\nThe Sanctuary Eco-Art Trail is dedicated to celebrating the sacred Mohican soils we are honored to tend. We are beneficiaries of millennia of human history unfolding in a majestic river valley\, where the land has been nurtured by Indigenous hands and traumatized through industrial development and systemic inequity. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Stockbridge-Munsee Tribe are in partnership on this project\, which features Stockbridge-Munsee as well as other Indigenous artists and musicians\, historians and storytellers\, eco-artists\, and muralists\, connecting Indigenous wisdom to visions for a future of healing and reparations. \n\n\n\n\n\n“We understand that one goal of the Eco-Art Trail is to continue to bring our stories to life. Embedding our history and culture into a publicly accessible and self-guided trail will make it possible for our words and ways of being to connect with a wider audience.“  \nShannon Halsey\, Tribal President\, Stockbridge-Munsee Community Band of Mohican Indians\n\n\n\n\nLearn more about about Stockbridge-Munsee Community Band of Mohicans and their stories of Origin and History. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Sanctuary Eco-Art Trail’s urban nature walk on 6th Avenue weaves a journey from Glen St. to 101st St and Freedom Square. Check out our developing schedule of events ranging from summer ’23 through spring ’24 here. \n\n\n\n\nThe Sanctuary Eco-Art Trail is supported by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Our Town creative placemaking program\, which supports activities that integrate arts\, culture\, and design into local efforts that strengthen communities over the long term.  \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWith an earlier NEA Our Town grant\, the Sanctuary collaborated with community to build the Freedom Square Art Stage. A decade later\, NEA Our Town supports “Sanctuary Eco Art Trail\,” as the space welcomes Stockbridge Munsee sharers of knowledge young and old.
