Redesigning What's In Your Closet as a Social & Environmental Practice
with Connie Ulasewicz, Nora Scully, and Michelle Santoro
On Zoom
Sunday, January 25, 4 to 5:30 pm PT
Your closet holds more than just clothes. It contains gallons of water, pounds of fertilizer, and a significant carbon footprint. Why keep or pitch your clothing? Let’s explore why and how you can extend the life of your favorite pieces through repair and redesign.
Connie will uncover the waste, pollution, and policies shaping our apparel choices. Nora and Michelle will share practical ways to repair, redesign, and keep your clothes in use. Together, we’ll reveal the true value of what we wear.

A Cross-Disciplinary Conversation
Thursday, January 22
7:00 PM ET / 4:00 PM PT
Hybrid | In-person at The 109 Gallery (Chickamauga, GA) and virtual via Zoom
This cross-disciplinary dialogue brings together voices from science, conservation, biology, activism, writing, and the arts to reflect on the themes of the exhibition and the work of the participating artists. The conversation will explore how practices of care and consent shape relationships between bodies, environments, and systems of power across human and more-than-human worlds.
Artists featured in the exhibition will be present alongside invited panelists and juror Beverly Nadius, including:
-
Chrissie Orr from Santa Fe, New Mexico: Social practice and photography
-
Rebecca Haseltine, San Francisco, California: Ink paintings and body-mind centering
-
Virginia Petitte, Dayton, Tennessee: Sustainability coordinator at Thrive Regional Partnership
The evening will conclude with a moderated community Q&A, welcoming both in-person and virtual audiences. Designed as an intimate and thoughtful exchange rather than a formal panel, this gathering offers space for listening, reflection, and shared inquiry as we close the exhibition and the year together.
