As part of ArtProv Gallery/Creature Conserve’s “Urban Wildlife: Learning to Co-Exist” exhibit, wildlife biologist and conservationist Dr. Lucy Spelman will present “Art Can Save a Panda: Part 2.” This lecture picks up where her 2015 Providence TEDx talk  left off.

Using examples of work produced by artists working in collaboration with scientists, Lucy shows that conservation is much more than a science; it is something we all do. She makes the case that art informed by science can motivate us to take action, to find new ways to live in balance with the rest of the animal kingdom. By reconnecting the arts and sciences, the problems facing the earth’s creatures today – as well as the solutions – become more accessible, meaningful, and relevant.
