- What is the Lexicon of Sustainability...
- A unique pop-up art show of visually
packed collages, making a tour across the country with local
curators. Created by author, film maker and photographer Douglas
Gayeton, who for the past three years conversed with the foremost
practitioners of sustainability in food and farming. They shared their
insights and experiences and contributed their words to our rapidly
growing Lexicon of Sustainability. The Lexicon project has also grown to
include short films, study guides, traveling shows, a book and a website
where people can add their own terms to this ever-evolving
lexicon.
- Gayeton felt if he could define and build out the language of
sustainability, he could give people the tools they needed to bounce
around real ideas. To make a change. Gayeton identified 100 key terms and
began visiting the farmers, fishermen, foragers, and chefs across the
country who could help him define them. By illuminating the vocabulary of
sustainable agriculture and the conversation about America’s rapidly
evolving food culture, the Lexicon project gives people the tools and
knowledge necessary to create a healthier, safer food system in
America.
WE WILL BRING the Lexicon of Sustainability Exhibit back again for
the SPRING SEMESTER, encouraging faculty to involve students and
incorporate into their curriculums in some way. We hope to develop
local Lexicon content, and will encourage students in many departments
and student clubs to get involved.
Special thanks to Gerard Minakawa of
Bamboo DNA, who generously offered to design & build stands for our
outdoor exhibit.
