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.  www.bamboodna.com
