Joel Sackett will present a series of photographs from his forthcoming book on farming in the area, titled “Air, Water, and Soil: Local Farmers on a Changing Environment.” An opening reception will be held at Bainbridge Performing Arts on April 1, and the photographs will be available for viewing in the gallery all month long.
The Bainbridge Island Photo Club presents images by Brazilian photographer Sebastiao Selgado in the main hall of the BI Community Center during the month of April. Selgado documents the human condition around the world. His high contrast black and white images are rich in the powerful stories they tell, their textural qualities and their composition. The club will discuss how this photographer explores man’s impact on the environment, the raw beauty of our planet, and tells his personal journey in support of healing the planet through his art.
The Photo Club will be showing The Salt of the Earth: The Photo Work of Brazilian Sabastiao Selgado, an Academy Award nominated film about Selgado, on April 27.

Trailer:
Janet Norman Knox’s performance prose poem, Artifact Pattern, examines the Alaskan Way Viaduct as a way to observe humanity’s take on climate change. In collaboration with musician Tom McDonald, Knox uses the humor and heaviness of a viaduct and climate in flux to weigh in on what both tell us about ourselves. Built on giant carbon feet, the viaduct’s very cement is a massive carbon sink. The viaduct is our Roman aqueduct, sending carbon like water to quench the empire’s power thirst. The viaduct is lodged in geologic history like a receding glacier. It occupies the same footprint as the fingers of glaciers that retreated, dropping their erratics, sands, and gravels. There are many facts to connect and our very human brains want to recognize the patterns in poetry, in music, in the quandaries of a society speeding headlong into an uncertainty where we may find ourselves.
