The presentation features a conversation between Jenny Kendler, nationally and internationally recognized interdisciplinary artist, environmental activist, wild forager, naturalist, and social entrepreneur and Ruta Saliklis, San Luis Obispo Museum of Art (SLOMA) Exhibitions and Development Director, about the intersection of art, activism, and the natural sciences.
