[OPLINLIST] Author talk at Cleveland Botanical Garden

[Marisha Sullivan]

Library friends and colleagues,

Holden Forests & Gardens is proud to present a talk and Q&A with Carolyn Finney, author of Black Faces, White Spaces: Reimagining the Relationship of African Americans to the Great Outdoors. The talk will take place in person on Saturday, February 25, from 1 – 3 p.m. at Cleveland Botanical Garden. Tickets are $20 and includes admission to the Gardens for the day.

Carolyn Finney, PhD, is a storyteller, author and cultural geographer who is deeply interested in issues related to identity, difference, creativity, and resilience. Using both academic and artistic ways of knowing, her work explores the important intersection of race and place, challenging us to question and expand the language of mainstream environmentalism to include a multitude of Black experiences on the land. Her writing incorporates environmental history, arts and culture, and social justice to highlight the past, present, and future of African Americans and the outdoors.

I hope you'll be able to join us for this important and timely conversation. Admission is included in the ticket price, so be sure to check out our Orchids Forever exhibit when you come.
