Walkshop # 13: "Climate Empathy with Hughen/Starkweather" January 19th, 2019, 2pm - 4pm led by Jennifer Starkweather and Amanda Hughen
The Walkshop "Climate Empathy" hosted by The Walk Discourse will lead participatnst on a walk along the urban shoreline of San Francisco Bay. Together with the artists, participants will imagine past and future climate and envision new connections and perspectives in the search for common ground on the increasingly urgent topic of climate change. The crisis of climate change will require working together to find solutions. Hughen/Starkweather's Climate Empathy Project hopes to harness the power of storytelling through words and images to foster connection in a time of widespread catastrophic rhetoric and divisive conversation.
Hughen/Starkweather is the collaboration of San Francisco artists Jennifer Starkweather and Amanda Hughen, who have worked as a team since 2006. Together they create abstract artworks about specific topics or locations. Each project begins with intensive research, including maps, photographs, data, and interviews with specialists and community members. The resulting abstract drawings and paintings reinterpret complex narratives, creating new and unexpected forms. The artworks are not didactic, but aim to prompt questions and new perspectives in the viewer. Hughen/Starkweather have had solo exhibitions at the Asian Art Museum (SF), the Public Policy Institute of California (SF), and the University of San Francisco, among other places. Hughen received an MFA from UC Berkeley and has been an artist-in-residence at the DeYoung Museum of Art (CA), the Headlands Center for the Arts (CA), Oxbow (CA), Recology (SF), and Yaddo (NY). Starkweather received an MFA from Tyler School of Art (PA) and has been an artist-in-residence at Ucross (WY), Skowhegan (ME), Oxbow (CA), Ragdale (IL), and Recology (SF).
