As an environmental laboratory, our work centers on analyzing air, water, and soil for environmental hazards. These hazards impact Black and low-income communities the most as a result of systemic racism and health inequities. The growing climate crisis is only exacerbating this impact. What does a future look like where we dismantle these intersections of injustice? We collaborated with the legendary S. Ross Browne on a mural to materialize this message.
Browne is a professional studio artist, an educator, a writer with over 28 years of experience in painting. His art has been exhibited in print, galleries and museums nationwide. His storytelling is representational, enriched by allegories based in historical fact, tied into present socio-political dynamics, challenging and eroding racial archetypes.
Art has always been a catalyst for positive change. It has a duty to nurture the mind, and pave the path to liberation. Let’s visualize a new and more equitable world, and then bring it to fruition. Check out our gallery below, and learn more about S. Ross Browne at srossbrowne.com.
