Redwood Time is an exhibition and series of events created in response to a cross-section of a giant redwood that serves as a landmark and tourist attraction in town. The cross section is affixed with a timeline of historical events that correspond to the rings of the tree. The exhibition proposes an alternative to a fixed timeline representing a dominant singular view of time or history, instead encouraging reinterpretation through ongoing collective practice. The range of events to be presented under the Redwood Time banner include a group exhibition featuring a 1:1 scale fabric model of the redwood mount, magic lantern performances, participatory theater events, large scale printmaking workshops, an immersive audio soundscape, and installations that speak to the natural environment and its ongoing cycles of decay and nourishment that sustain forest ecosystems.
