Loving Orphaned Space: Book Launch
Join author and geographer Mrill Ingram and environmental artists on Saturday April 30, 2022 starting at 7:00 PM to celebrate the launch of the new book Loving Orphaned Space: The Art and Science of Belonging to Earth. The book, from Temple University Press, is an invitation to see the world around you differently, and recognize the power in connecting to everyday space. Catalyzed by work by artists including Mierle Laderman Ukeles and M. Jenea Sanchez and by a series of case studies of art-science collaborations, the book offers a guide to seeing everyday space as a portal through which we can discover old and tell new stories about how we dwell on Earth.
The gathering will include a reading by the author and geographer Mrill Ingram, presentations from artists Kristin Thielking, Lisa Beth Robinson, and Lillian Sizemore, music from the MurmurMurmur Collective, and followed by a moderated Q&A with writer Erik Ness and a reception. This event is free and open to the public.
Mrill Ingram is a writer and researcher, and currently Participatory Action Research Scientist at the Center for Integrated Agricultural Systems, UW-Madison. Along with work on knowledge networks, her scholarship has focused on environmental art-science collaboration, narrative in environmental social movements, environmental policy, organic agriculture, and microbial biopolitics.

Other work includes a 2013 co-authored book with Raul Lejano and Helen Ingram, The Power of Narrative in Environmental Networks, on how story and narrative can enable grassroots environmental action. Previously, she’s worked The Progressive magazine, Upworthy, the journal Ecological Restoration, and the Farley... Read More
