Join Embodied Earth and artist, sTo Len, for a screening of Discard Records, a rarely-before-seen exploration of New York City's waste management systems.
Recently serving as the NYC Department of Sanitation's Public Artist in Residence, sTo Len digitized over 500 hours of the department's footage, including union films, environmental programs, cartoons, and TV news broadcasts. Len's synthesis of an enormous media waste archive weaves together a history of New York City that can only be revealed through its waste.
Following the screening, Len will be in conversation with Embodied Earth's founder, Nicole Jackson, to discuss the history of waste management and labor in New York City, and the power of documentation and the archive amidst the climate crisis.
