In honor of Earth Day, meet artist-activist Diane Burko who has traveled the globe searching for evidence of humankind’s impact on the natural world. Exploring the intersection of art and environment, Burko discusses her creative practice, and her critical engagement with the scientists, people, and environs that inform her Amazon series, featured in BCA’s exhibit Human Impact.
