The Hoch Cunningham Environmental Lectures series as Tufts University presents a conversation with artist Alan Sonfist titled “Secret Earth.” Beginning with his first major commissioned work, “Time Landscapes,” Sonfist received critical acclaim for his innovative use of urban spaces to design havens of nature. His early work in the 1960s and 1970s helped pioneer the burgeoning movement of site-specific sculpture. Today, he continues to promote sustainable energy and strives to raise awareness for global climate change with his international projects. In this talk, Sonfist will discuss the juxtaposition of nature and art, the constant change in our earth, and artists’ response to climate change.

The talk will be presented at Curtis Hall on campus, and also be available for viewing via Zoom. Register at https://bit.ly/HOCU0930
