Loss of our world's biodiversity is happening at a startlingly fast rate. For
most of us, it's hard to understand what we have to lose when some of
our most threatened species are also our rarest-which in turn means it's
unlikely we've ever had a meaningful first-hand interaction with our
world's listed species.
With roughly ~150 threatened and ~75 endangered species in Texas alone, artist Juliet Whitsett has been learning, creating art about and sharing the importance of our world’s biodiversity. Her digital, acrylic, and experiential audio art pieces aim to simulate virtual encounters with our rarest and most at risk species.
Most recently, she has crafted an event centered on the experience of empathy while deep diving into the world of at-risk color.
