A new multi-year national environmental justice art collaboration incorporates visual art produced for both museum and outdoor exhibition, public rituals, gatherings within and across communities, and artistic visuals for performances, public hearings, and protest.

We Refuse to Die launches with a multimedia installation at the Carnegie Museum of Art, as well as toxic tours, community rituals and other public events in Clairton, Braddock, East Palestine, and Pittsburgh.

Join a protest outside the Bronx Zoo, which is run by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), one of the world’s oldest conservation organizations, with a long history of complicity in human rights abuses in the name of conservation. 

This conference seeks to change the mainstream conversation around conservation by bringing together Indigenous and non-Indigenous activists and human rights experts from around the globe to elevate the voices of those who have seen their lands stolen and their livelihoods devastated by militarized conservation.
