How does creativity help us gain geographic literacy? In this 2.5 hour workshop, the staff of Zaum magazine invites you to explore this question. We will begin with a 45-minute lecture by poet, naturalist, and best-selling author of the California Field Atlas, Obi Kaufmann. Following Obi’s lecture, attendees venture out on a nature walk at dusk to gather inspiration before returning to the field station’s classroom to draft a creative record of the Fairfield-Osborn Preserve of their very own!
