On February 27th, Betsy Damon presented a lecture (Water Rules: Life) and shared information about her international work via Keepers of the Water, an international effort to work with communities worldwide to use community-based art strategies to spearhead local efforts to restore landscapes, communities and water.
Amelie Xie's post on Betsy's visit sums up what I love most about collaboration and that is serendipity and coincidence! You can visit Amelie's post by clicking on her blog link (see menu on right of screen re: students)
In my wildest dreams I never would have anticipated that one of my students would have known of Besty's project in Chengdu, but low and behold, Amelie grew up in China and is familiar with the project! Here is a link to Besty's Keepers of the Waters project (or google Keepers of the Water). Click here is a link to an article in YES magazine on Betsy's work in China.
