With artist Abigail Anne Newbold, I moderated a panel discussion with participants from Newbold's backcountry retreat, The Academy for Survival. The panel accompanied Borderlander's Outfitter, her 2014 exhibition at Museum of Contemporary Craft and the Philip Feldman Gallery + Project Space at PNCA. Participants included Christina Conant, Ryan Newson, Laura O'Quin, and Sarah Margolis-Pineo, Associate Curator at Museum of Contemporary Craft.
The Academy for Survival was presented in collaboration with the MFA in Applied Craft + Design, a joint MFA of Oregon College of Art & Craft and PNCA and supported by Signal Fire, Studio Gorm, Rewild Portland, and Leland Iron Works.
