American-born and Berlin-based, artist Clare Celeste Börsch creates large-scale, immersive installations composed of thousands of images of flora and fauna -- vivid tributes to our planet’s extraordinary, yet imperiled, biodiversity.

Shaped by her childhood in Brazil, where lush tropical ecosystems met the encroaching industrial landscapes of its cities, Clare’s work is a meditation on what we’ve lost and what we still have to protect. With 70% of the world’s biodiversity destroyed since 1970, her art challenges the illusion of separateness between humans and the natural world, reminding us that we “breathe the breath of trees.”

In this talk, Clare will share:

• How formative experiences in the Brazilian jungle and city shaped her creative vision
• The process of transforming thousands of images into immersive environments
• Why art and storytelling can reawaken our connection to the planet
• How beauty can move people toward ecological action

Join us for an event where science, memory, and art converge and where you may leave seeing our shared planet with new eyes.
