Bryn Mawr Special Collections hosted an Earth Week Student Symposium featuring undergraduate PechaKucha presentations, graduate papers, and a keynote by Don Barber, Professor of Environmental Studies & Geology at Bryn Mawr College, entitled, “Connecting Coastal Climate Science with Local Vulnerability and Adaptation Needs." The Symposium took the current Special Collections exhibition "Nature so-called..." as its theoretical point of departure, querying the embeddedness of culture within what we understand as "nature." It featured papers from the disciplines of Environmental Studies, Classics, Archaeology, and Art History in order to examine nature from all angles.
Curator and historian Paul Farber, PhD, Managing Director, Penn Program in Environmental Humanities and Artistic Director of Monument Lab, reflects on the public art and history exhibition through the concept of "river monumentality," revisiting the ways Philadelphia’s foundational historical identity is mapped, managed, and reflexively revisited over time around living memory at and of its waterways.
