Christina Conklin

Christina Conklin is an artist and writer who investigates the intersection of belief systems and natural systems during our time of rapid cultural and climatic change. Her writings, interactive exhibitions, and public events engage audiences in reflection about the challenges we face, asking how we create regenerative, transilient communities.

Born in Portland, Oregon, she received a B.A. from Middlebury College in Vermont and an M.F.A. in Sculpture and Textiles from the California College of the Arts in San Francisco. The Atlas of Disappearing Places: Our Coasts and Oceans in the Climate Crisis, which is illustrated throughout with her unique ink-on-dried-seaweed maps, is her first book.
