Lafayette College

A series of micro-workshops took place at Lafayette College focused on the topic of “ecotone.” Defined as a transitional zone between two adjacent communities, ecotone speaks to ecologies in tension. They are regions filled with diversity, intensity and extremes where species interact in complex and dynamic ways at times producing conflict. During the workshops undergraduate students worked alongside Mapping Meaning artists and scholars to explore current transitions in climate and technology and create site-specific work that was included in an exhibition that took place at Lafayette in the Spring of 2014.
