CAMILLE SEAMAN, RE:WIRED GREEN 2022

On September 28, CUHF National Council member Camille Seaman discussed her most striking photos at the climate conference Re:WIRED Green, which brought together scientists, innovators, entrepreneurs, and more to spotlight ways that human ingenuity can fight the climate crisis.

“I understand that my job as an artist is to build greater compassion, empathy and understanding of our world and all of those we share with it. But most important, my job as an artist is to inspire you. My job is to breathe life to your fire so that you know you have the fuel to do the thing that you were put on this planet to do.”
