SUMMARY:Power Beyond Extraction: A Buried History
DESCRIPTION:6–6:30 p.m. Live performance of old miners’ movement songs from Appalachia by Joe Uehlein. \n6:30–8:30 p.m. Panel discussion \nThe history of Appalachia is tightly bound to the history of coal\, and the material and sentimental attachments to this history presents a predicament for the environmental movement. On one hand\, the history of coal is a history of exploitation of both land and labor. On the other\, it is the history of the struggle of workers to organize for dignified work\, fair pay\, and safe working conditions. How should the environmental movement relate to workers whose livelihoods are tied to fossil fuel extraction? One answer has emerged with the concept of a just transition\, which holds that in the transition to clean energy\, no worker will be left behind. What can be learned from the buried history of labor militancy borne inside the mine? By approaching the history of coal as a history of labor\, this panel asks how the long struggle for work with dignity can inform a just transition. \nSpeakers\nShaun Slifer\, Creative Director\, West Virginia Mine Wars Museum\nKipp Dawson\, former coal miner\, union member\, teacher\nJoe Uehlein\, Founding President\, Labor Network for Sustainability\nVeronica Coptis\, Executive Director\, Center for Coalfield Justice \nThis event is presented as part of “Power Beyond Extraction”\, a programming series hosted at Pittsburgh-area museums on the occasion of the Shale Insight Conference\, an annual convening of oil/gas industry executives. The event series is curated and organized by The Natural History Museum\, a traveling\, pop-up museum founded by the art collective Not An Alternative in 2014. An ongoing art intervention\, The Natural History Museum has a mission to unleash the power of museums as agents of change. \nThe event will begin with labor leader and professional musician Joe Uehlein playing a selection of coal mining songs that “speak to the dangers of working underground\, the reverence miners have for the mountains they love and call their home\, and how miners live a painful contradiction where the economy that supports their families also destroys the earth. The music will be engaging\, with plenty of upbeat and fight back themes.”

SUMMARY:Anthropocene Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Still from the short film Leafcutters\nArtist and photographer Catherine Chalmers will join Curator of Photography Dan Leers and Anthropocene Curator Dr. Nicole Heller to discuss Chalmers’ art practice and award-winning short film Leafcutters\, currently featured in Carnegie Museum of Natural History’s Anthropocene Living Room. \nChalmers’ work examines life in the Anthropocene\, the proposed name of the current geological epoch when humans have become the dominant planetary force\, restructuring earth system processes as well as the diversity and abundance of life.  The Anthropocene calls into question the idea that nature and culture are separated. Similarly\, Chalmers’ work blurs the line between natural history and art. She writes in her Artist Statement at CatherineChalmers.com\, “My work is at the intersection of art\, science and nature.  I do extensive research for each of my long-term\, multimedia projects and a direct engagement with the natural world is central to what I do.” \n[swcheckout site=”6″ item=”88847″]
