ForestSong:
Creativity & Resilience in Forest Communities

ForestSong, a project from local artist Andie Thrams, has announced a full schedule of events, beginning with the RIPE AREA Arts & Nature Festival at Wakamatsu Farm on Sunday, June 2, from 12 pm to 3 pm.

Created as a response to recent devastating wildfires in the region, ForestSong is a collaborative art project that investigates grief, beauty, and interconnection, shares images and science, invokes the sacred while bearing witness to the effects of natural disasters, and invites action to preserve, protect, and celebrate our natural wonders.

The project is helmed by lead artist Andie Thrams, whose work weaves together art and contemporary ecology to explore the natural world and our relation to it. Andie will be joined at ForestSong events by visual artist Laurel Ferreira and poet Moira Magneson, who will share the ForestSong process with participants. ForestSong events will also feature sound art generated from data related to California wildfires by Zack Dowell and Dustin Koupal of the Laika’s Last Wish performance collective. As part of the project, graphic artist Nate Reifke will develop informational materials for the El Dorado County Fire Safe Council to be displayed at ForestSong events.
