Our Place

This collectively composed artwork was designed and fabricated by members of the Write Climate: Art & Engagement class taught by Amanda Nelsen and Andrea Ruedy Trimble. These individual postcards will be presented to local leaders to highlight the deep feelings our community has about our climate future and to further embolden climate action.
Students sewed some 600 postcards together to comprise an image of the Charlottesville area and a backdrop of surface temperature anomalies from 1880-2022. The cooler-than-average and warmer-than average gradients are based on data from the National Centers for Environmental Information (www.climate.gov).
