The Ecogeoglyphic Observatory presents Voices of Water

Join us on July 14th for Voices of Water, a free drop-in writing workshop at MING Studios that invites participants to write in response to the themes of RIPARIA, a multimedia collaborative art exhibit that explores our relationship with water. Through guided prompts and playful experimentation, we’ll reflect on the Boise River, riparian habitats, and the futures they carry. Come ready to reflect, imagine, and speak the language of water. This workshop is open to writers of all levels and led by local writer Hannah Rodabaugh. 

Hannah Rodabaugh is the author of Lost Cathedral (forthcoming, Cornerstone Press/University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point) and four chapbooks of poetry. Her poetry is featured in The Indianapolis Review, Camas Magazine, Glassworks Magazine, Plant-Human Quarterly, The Westchester Review, EcoTheo Review, and Berkeley Poetry Review. She is the recipient of a Literature Fellowship from the Idaho Commission on the Arts and has twice been an Artist-in-Residence for the National Park Service. She teaches at Boise State University, the College of Western Idaho, and The Cabin. When not writing, she volunteers for the Golden Eagle Audubon Society and collects rare desert plants from around the world.

The Ecogeoglyphic Observatory is a post-disciplinary eco-collective exploring the Boise Valley's historic, present, and future relationship with development. In our current exhibition, RIPARIA, we are embracing the flood plain, the wetland, the intermittent stream, and the river as guides who assist us in seeing how to better live in relation to each other and to the vital dynamics of the living earth. This installation-based show features found and repurposed objects; maps; sculpture; photography; textile works; miniatures; sound art; and more. We hope to see you at the opening!
