Susan Greene is an artist, educator and clinical psychologist. Her

Greene is one of four Jewish American women artists who formed Break the Silence Mural Project in 1989. Break the Silence artists have returned to Occupied Palestine numerous times to facilitate community mural projects, conduct arts workshops, and create sculpture in refugee camps in Bethlehem, Ramallah, Nablus, Beit Hanoun and Rafah. They have presented their work to high school, university, and community audiences across the United States including at the San Francisco Art Institute, Art Institute of Chicago, and the Alternative Museum in New York. The group has also produced an award winning video. Greene has led or participated in more than 30 public art projects worldwide.

A Symposium on Art, Architecture, and Design That Takes Our Declining Air Quality As the Subject Matter, Medium and Metaphor for Creating Work.

April 19, 2008 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Saturday, April 19, 10:00 am – 4:00 pm

  • [At 1 pm, Amy Balkin, Amy Franceschini, and Melissa Capria will appear together on the panel "Artists and Social Activism" -- see below.]

Location: California College of the Arts, Timken Lecture Hall, 1111 8th Street (at Irwin)

In anticipation of Earth Day (April 22), this symposium presents a daylong gathering of speakers from diverse fields tackling questions at the intersection of climate change and the arts, sciences and policy.

Schedule for the Day
10:00-10:30: Introduction

10:30 - 12:00: Free Data: Monitoring our own environment, visualizing scientific data, and understanding the city

How do artists and scientists both deal with visualizing the invisible, be it air quality conditions, climate change, or our behavior and the ways in which it affects these? How have technologies moved from the science lab into thehands of "citizen scientists"? This panel will focus on how scientific data is being made accessible and relevant to the ways in which we understand the city.

Panelists: Natalie Jeremijenko (Artist), Eric Paulos (Artist) and Jamie Schulte (Artist)
Moderator: Alison Sant, Vapor Co-Curator

12:00 - 1:00: Lunch

1:00 - 2:00: Artists and Social Activism

How do artists provoke long-term changes in urban policy? How do their works serve to question the assumptions our economic systems and the definitions of public space? This panel will discuss the ways in which the strategies of artists and policy makers may help to promote urban change.

Panelists: Amy Balkin (Artist) Amy Franceschini, (Artist) Melissa Capria, (City of San Francisco Office of the Environment)
Moderator: Courtney Fink, Executive Director, Southern Exposure
