In connection with the exhibition, Salt Lines: Exploring Climate, Environment, and the Saline Influx, Southern Utah Museum of Art (SUMA) invites you to a community conversation about environmental issues affecting Utah. Beginning with an audience forum, the conversation will feature a panel of experts from across disciplines, who will focus on community-sourced contributions and questions. Each panelist represents a different approach to understanding, addressing, and solving environmental crises impacting Utah. Participants will be invited to join breakout groups for more intimate conversation with the panelists and each other. The program will conclude at SUMA, where the curator of Salt Lines will introduce the exhibition and lead an activity that asks participants to contemplate our roles as present protectors and future ancestors of the land.

This program has received funding from Utah Humanities. Utah Humanities enriches our cultural, intellectual, and civic life by providing opportunities for all Utahns to explore life's most engaging questions and the wonders of the human experience.
