Join us at the Sausalito Center for the Arts for an enlightening journey through thought-provoking artworks, motivational lectures, and compelling films that explore the intersection of ocean debris, scorched earth, extinction, and sea level rise.

These crises are not mere isolated incidents; they are threads woven into the evolving fabric of our global ecosystem. It is imperative that we educate ourselves on the multifaceted challenges of climate change and global disasters. Their impact reverberates through our lives now, and their repercussions will only magnify unless we take decisive action.

During this multi-week exhibition, the Sausalito Center for the Arts will unite artists, authors, filmmakers, and game changers in a collaborative effort to spark awareness and ignite inspiration for meaningful change. Together, let us explore avenues to mitigate and, ultimately, eradicate these calamities—many of which stem from human actions. Let us seize the opportunity to become catalysts for a healthier planet and a safer future.

Join Maria Finn, author of the cookbook, Forage. Gather. Feast. and founder of The Institute for Ecosystem Based Living, and Lydia Wendt, founder of California Cloth Foundry, for a discussion on ways we can hack our daily habits in food and fashion to live in more alignment with the natural world.

From keystone species like salmon and oysters to the fantastic world of mushrooms and their mycelial networks, to super carbon sequesters like seaweed, these creatures, fungi and algae are vital parts of their ecosystems. They are also delicious. There are so many ways we can support wild foods, and emerging systems of regenerative foods with small, everyday changes that will also benefit our own health and happiness.

While sustainability in food has received a lot of attention, sustainable clothing is an emerging field. Mass produced, “fast fashion” is considered an environmental disaster and the second most polluting industry after oil. There’s a huge amount of waste of cheap clothing that often ends up in landfills – where the chemicals used for dying leach into groundwater. But fashion can be sustainable – from the farming and ranching of cotton and wool to natural dyes, and compostable fabrics. There are many simple ways to make your fashion choices better for the planet and for your body.

Starting with the poetry of Hafez, one of the most famous Iranian poets of the 14th century, choreographer Parya Saberi considers “every word as a jewel.” During the pandemic, with her mother stranded here in the United States, Saberi and her mother read Hafez’s poetry daily to begin each morning together during shelter-in-place.

Each section of her latest project is named after a section of a poem by famous Iranian poets, and thematic inspirations come from the words. “The verses have so much movement and dance within them,” notes Saberi. A concise version of Dancing with Hafez will premiere on July 28th, 2024 at the Sausalito Center for the Arts.
