About This Event
Forecast is a monthly discussion and practice group focused on the environmental histories, impacts, and futures of photography.
Each photograph is an environmental action. In Forecast, we will explore how photography impacts the environment, and how the environment shapes the practice and technology of photography.
Michelle Henning’s A Dirty History of Photography will serve as a shared text, but participants are encouraged to develop their own lines of inquiry and art making. We welcome photographers, filmmakers, photography writers, ecologists, environmental activists, and the photo- and eco-curious.
Purchase the book for pickup at Silver Eye
Schedule
We will meet once a month at the Silver Eye Education Center on the dates below, but we will also work informally between sessions to share ideas and creative work on these topics.
Wednesday August 12, 6-7pm
Wednesday September 16, 6-7pm
Wednesday October 14, 6-7pm
Wednesday November 11, 6-7pm
Facilitator
Forecast is facilitated by Dani Lamorte, a Pittsburgh-based artist who writes, performs, and makes photographic images. His work has appeared in Observer, Cleveland Review of Books, Pittsburgh City Paper, 100 Days in Appalachia, among other publications. Lamorte’s first book, Nobody’s Psychic was published by the University Press of Kentucky in fall 2025.
