About
River on Fire is a multidisciplinary exhibition and performance project that examines how artists respond to environmental crises and climate change in the United States and Canada. The project draws inspiration from early environmental movements triggered by river fires between 1968 and 1969, such as those on the Buffalo River in Buffalo, NY; the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland, OH; the Rouge River in Detroit, MI; and the 1994 San Jacinto River Fire in Southeast Houston.
