Artist Talk: Following Fire and Fire Maps

Please RSVP for Free Ticket
Doors and Gallery Tour: 6:00PM
Artist Talk: 6:30PM
Cost: Free, RSVP required
Join us in the Discovery Museum’s art gallery for a behind the scenes conversation with the creators of World Forestry Center’s featured temporary exhibitions.
Following Fire, A Resilient Forest / An Uncertain Future by photographer David Paul Bayles and disturbance ecologist Frederick Swanson, studies the recovery of 173,000 acres of forests and towns that burned along the McKenzie River during the Holiday Farm Fire in Oregon in 2020. Photographs weave a complex story of forest and community resilience in the face of growing challenges and uncertainties.
Fire Maps is an installation created by artist Kate Simmons and is inspired by her personal experience with wildfire evacuation during the Riverside Fire of Oregon that affected 138,054 acres of land along the Clackamas River and Mt. Hood National Forest in 2020. The forms are molded from clay with immediacy to reflect the sudden and abrupt demand for people to evacuate their homes in response to the wildfire threat. The surface decoration of the figures is informed by satellite maps that tracked the progression of the fire and roadside evacuation markings left by authorities.

Our forests are walking, but should they be running?
Fossil evidence shows that trees naturally migrate, but with the current pace of climate change, they are struggling to keep up. As a result, scientists are exploring what might happen if we step in to assist them.
OPB’s All Science No Fiction host Jes Burns will moderate a thought-provoking panel discussion with leading experts about the potential impacts of climate change on forest migration within the Pacific Northwest, the groundbreaking solutions being considered to help forests adapt, and the ethical implications of human intervention in natural processes.
The program begins at 7 pm; doors open at 6 pm.
Speakers will share shallow and deep time perspectives:

Glen Howe, Director of the Pacific Northwest Tree Improvement Research Cooperative, forest geneticist and Associate Professor at Oregon State University College of Forestry, will discuss his research on local and contemporary assisted forest migration plans.
Paige Wilson Deibel, Ph.D, a paleobotanist at the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture at the University of Washington, will share about how she studies fossils to understand the impact of mass extinction of plant species, and the decimation of forests millions of years ago due to climate change and various disturbances.

Join us for an in-depth exploration of one of the most pressing issues facing our environment today – can we help our forests move fast enough to survive the challenges ahead? And should we?
Forest Pubs are presented by World Forestry Center and McMenamins.

Curated to align with the mission of World Forestry Center, this exhibition was created in collaboration with these Indigenous artists and the High Desert Museum in Bend, Oregon, which featured the exhibition Sensing Sasquatch in 2024.
