Welcome!

WELCOME!
This virtual space is a place where I can share all of the great projects and artists that have taken on "environment" as a theme in their work. As I do research for a project of mine called Uncovering Food & Health, Altar of Awareness, that looks at the food we eat and how that has impacted health, especially in minority communities, I am finding more and more that I want to share and remember here. My project draws from Dia de los Muertos, as a hope to speak to my own Latin community about health, food, and the environment.

This exhibit, Why Design Now?, at Cooper-Hewitt, National Museum of Design presents artists and designers who have come up with sustainable designs for energy, transportation, health, communication, and more. They also offer educational programs for students, which asks students to think like a designer and come up with their own sustainable designs.
