Panel discussion: How this place is made

How This Place Is Made: Geology, Decisions, Photography, and the Oyster is a panel discussion at the Berkeley Art Center exploring how the Bay Area’s natural and cultural landscapes have been shaped by geology, ecology, and human decision-making. Held in conjunction with the exhibition [Obstructed view of the house through the trees with the road visible on the left side in the foreground.] or black point reinterpretive site, the conversation brings together artists and environmental thinkers to reflect on place, history, and representation.

Panelists include exhibiting artists Torreya Cummings and Sarah Lowe, writer and geologist Andrew Alden (Deep Oakland: How Geology Shaped a City), and Stephanie Romano, Environmental Education and Operations Manager at The Watershed Project. The panel is moderated by Elena Gross, curator of the exhibition.
