Columbia College’s Museum of Contemporary Photography

Art, Activism, Policy, Power / Museum of Contemporary Photography

Entwined, a collaborative film created by Chicago artist Colleen Plumb, animates camera-less prints made by 95 students from Prosser Career Academy and South Shore College Prep. Through the Museum of Contemporary Photography’s Art, Activism, Policy, Power program, students learned about Colleen’s practice as an artist-activist focusing on environmental issues. They participated in educational tree walks with Chicago conservation organization, Openlands, and created unique cyanotypes with Plumb using collected tree specimens, reflecting on the role trees play in the health, wellness, history, and ecological life of the city. Sound by composer and sound designer Teerath Majumder.
