Episode 5: Painting the Marsh – Increasing Public Engagement Through Art
Get ready for a fascinating exploration of wetlands through the lens of art. We are thrilled to announce that acclaimed artist Maria Nalbantova will be our featured guest on the next episode of Restore4Life: The Podcast, releasing next Monday, 10 November!
Wetlands are not just landscapes – they are vital, complex ecosystems essential for supporting biodiversity and playing a critical role in addressing climate change. Yet, these environments face urgent threats.
In this upcoming podcast episode, Painting the Marsh: Increasing Public Engagement Through Art, Maria Nalbantova will share how art can be a catalyst for public awareness.
Maria Nalbantova is an artist, based in Sofia, Bulgaria, working in the field of visual arts, using a variety of media and techniques such as drawing, collage, found objects, installation and video. Her practice explores the complex entanglements between human society and the environment, often with a site-specific focus that considers the historical, political, and social context of each location. She constructs speculative realities where real stories, facts, and interdisciplinary research intertwine with fiction and contemporary mythologies, centered around notions of care, trust, and responsibility.
