Scientists have long predicted that the Climate Crisis would bring more intense storms, coastal flooding and pandemics. All those predictions are coming to pass, most notably in 2020, the COVID 19 pandemic. It is also well known that the impacts of the Climate Crisis disproportionately affect people of color and other vulnerable communities. So how did my 95 year old mother survive a year of physical isolation from her family while in lockdown at an assisted living? Anne Perkins shares her secrets to maintaining one's sanity in this COVID audio diary.

iHearIC Radio 124 with Blake Shaw (9/18/2023)

This started as a talk about painting, but - artist Bree Neyland talks to The Situation Room about the interdependence that is central to our survival, and how that is at the core of social justice.  Her love for art, feminism, teaching, community engagement and social justice have resulted in colorful, engaging works of art.  We'’ll also hear her insights into family farms, birds, and old recipe books.  Her work is on display through the month of May at the ArtiFactory Art Gallery, and you can see more of her work at https://breeneylandart.wordpress.com/ .  Look around as you travel through the countryside this summer - you might see some of her work on grain bins, tractors and other farm implements.
