Resilient, and victory!


This is a photo of my brother and simply shows that if a fighter is resilient he can achieve victory. Grapplefest 21!

About This Blog

Welcome to our visual anthropology project. This blog is home to digital images or “visual artifacts” collected and shared by students enrolled in Climate, Culture, and Resiliency: Examining Action and Adaption in the Anthropocene (University of New Mexico – Taos, Spring 2015). This course focuses on human cultural adaptation to climate change. Our semester will introduce us to individuals and communities exploring and undertaking adaptive strategies. We will study community resilience and sustainability (near our home in Taos, NM and farther afield), and systems that support environmental health, social equity, and economic vitality. (Public comments are encouraged and students and course instructors may invite posts from community members or anyone not enrolled in the course.)

In order to create visual artifacts (to document our community or visions of a sustainable community) we begin by noticing. We ask: What aspects of our community embody or reflect resiliency? What are the challenges and changes facing us and what responses do we see around us?

We look for visual artifacts to develop mindfulness – to see where we live and our neighbors. The scale of our project doesn’t stop at the edge of the town, or outlying communities. The environment – the community of all things; forest, sage, big horn, gorge, Rio Pueblo, Rio Grande – are essential to resilience, if there is to be any. Our recognition that the entire community includes the watershed, the mountain snowpack, the perennial stream and ephemeral passages, from monsoons to migratory species, means our images may project unexpected breadth.
