Can’t make KelpFest! in Mendocino? Check out The Curious World of Seaweed by @josieiselin at the California Science Center in Los Angeles until July 21, 2024.
Enjoy gorgeous color “portraits” of seaweed with intertwined stories from Indigenous people and women.
“The seaweeds and kelps (or marine algae) are the eco-engineers and primary producers of the near-shore ocean waters. They form the building blocks of an ecology that supports innumerable other organisms—the rich biodiversity we treasure—and yet their stories are seldom told. My artwork aims to bring this hidden flora to light and celebrate their stories.” ~ Josie Iselin
This traveling exhibition will be headed to San Diego in September.
