EcoPortraits featured at the 40th Anniversary Celebration of Earth Day in Santa Barbara
Mercury Press International is proud to feature the work of photographer Isaac Hernandez with journalists Carlos Fresneda and Nancy Black with EcoPortraits, an exhibition of photographic profiles of environmental leaders at the 40th Anniversary Celebration of Earth Day, sponsored by the Community Environmental Council (CEC), on April 17 and 18, in Alameda Park in Santa Barbara.
An audience of 20,000 is expected to attend the Earth Day Festival over the course of the weekend. Five years in the making, this is a fitting world premiere for the show that will travel to Los Angeles, New York, and Madrid. The exhibit features the ordinary people who, confronted with the natural disaster of the oil spill, accomplished extraordinary things and began a cultural shift: among them Selma Rubin, Paul Rellis, Marc McGinnes, and Bud Bottoms. These activists share the walls with other like Andy Lipkis (TreePeople), Van Jones (Green Jobs for All), Michael Pollan (author, Food Rules), Annie Leonard (author, Story of Stuff), Lester Brown (Earth Policy Institute), Sylvia Earle (oceanographer), Annie Novak (Rooftop Farms), Eric Sanderson (creator of the Mannahatta Project), Richard Heinberg (Post Carbon Institute) and Paul Stamets (Fungi Perfecti), among others.
These leaders embrace a bold future vision, dedicating their efforts towards the fulfillment of seemingly-impossible goals. This exhibit aims to share their inspiration and solutions for a sustainable world. Mercury Press is honored to partner with the Community Environmental Council in acknowledging their profound contributions.
