Cape Farewell Promoting a Cultural Response to Climate Change. An artist's perspective can provide meaningful context to the complexity of science.

----------------------------------------------------
WHAT WE DO
We bring leading artists together with climate scientists, engineers, economists and health practitioners. Specialists from diverse backgrounds share insights and engage ideas outside their normal spectrum of expertise. With this collaborative mechanism as a point of departure, artists create work that inspire and transform audiences in the public domain through exhibitions, performances, writing, and digital media. http://www.capefarewell.com/art.html

-----------------------------------------------------

WHY WE DO IT
Cape Farewell Foundation sees a need to bring together the evidence-based approach of scientists with cultural investigations to enact social change. Cape Farewell's approach conveys a solutions-based narrative by bringing a human and emotional dimension to climate change.

Exhibition: Giannini Hall, Rausser College of Natural Resources
September 21, 2026 – March 2, 2027

At Giannini Hall, 36 photographs selected from the recently published Remembering the Future: Nuclear Testing, Rising Seas, and The Marshall Islands (Radius Books, © 2026) by Mark Klett and William L. Fox extend the two men’s decades-long collaboration tracing the nuclear history of the American West and the broader Pacific sphere. Installed along the building’s main hallway, the images move between the physical remains of nuclear testing—bunkers, craters, camera towers reclaimed by jungle—and the everyday textures of Marshallese life: canoe building, weaving, seawalls raised by hand. Paired with archival images from the testing era and drawn from Fox’s field notes and essays, the photo essay holds both histories at once: the violence of nuclear history, and the resilience of a culture that continues to inhabit these islands.
