About Facilitators
Laurel Schwulst and Ellie Hunter are both artists who came together through a joint interest in art in the public realm, and the importance of providing opportunities for participation in the civic commons that aren’t always governed by institutions that require big budgets and lengthy bureaucratic processes.
Objective
“We have a tendency to think of Earth as a closed system. It is not. We do not live in a sealed spacecraft, isolated from the environment in a convenient bubble of air. We travel rapidly through space and time with our windows open, constantly exposed to the complex ecology of the galaxy and all it contains. We are windblown. And, while one of the consequences of this openness may be bouts of influenza, another could be the very existence of life itself.”
— Lyall Watson, Heaven’s Breath: A Natural History of the Wind (1984)
