Resilience: A Photo Exhibition

Resilience: A Photo Exhibition

Resilience is a visual story of encounters between Kichwa and Waorani communities and ASU students in the Ecuadorean Amazon. This one-day exhibition illustrates what is possible through our global education experiences by highlighting the impacts on ASU students who traveled abroad and captured these photos. The ASU community is invited to reflect on their own role in sustainability and their connection to a community at the frontlines of biodiversity regeneration and conservation. 

Resilience: A Photo Exhibition is a faculty- and student-organized event to inspire the ASU campus community and share the story of a longstanding, existing collaboration and global education experience called Indigenous Sustainability in the Amazon. This event fuses academic disciplines by bringing together faculty from ASU’s College of Global Futures and students from the School of Sustainability and Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication to share visual representations and reflections of opportunities for ASU students to engage locally and globally to co-produce sustainability solutions. Photos featured in this exhibition were captured during ASU’s post-Spring 2023 global education experience in the Ecuadorean Amazon.

Artwork for this event was created by Donovan Johnson, Elizabeth Virkina Swanson Andi, Miriam Josefina Swanson Andi, and Klever Wilfrido Vargas Andi.

The photos will be unveiled and available to view all day from 9 am – 5 pm. Join from 12:30-2:00 pm to meet two of the photographers, Donovan Johnson and Elizabeth Virkina Swanson Andi.
