Climate disaster zones may not be at the top of your list of destinations this summer, but you can let a book take you there. A Traveler’s Guide to the End of the World: Tales of Fire, Wind and Water brings readers from the burning American West to the fragile Outer Banks, where homes are being swallowed by the seas. For Rocky Mountain Community Radio, KGNU's Shannon Young spoke with the book's author, David Gessner.

Scotti Hill & Darren Jones on Critical Ground, a new series of conversations and brainstorms between visiting critics and artists, curators, writers, and other stakeholders from the region at Granary Arts in Ephraim, Utah.

  • June 23: Critical Ground, day-long dialogue at Granary Arts, Ephraim. Event by Granary Arts: “Critical Ground is an initiative exploring how the dialogue of art critique might shift towards communities and artists working outside the frameworks of NYC and LA. The day-long event is a series of conversations and brainstorms between visiting critics and artists, curators, writers, and other stakeholders from the region. Through formal and informal discussion, this gathering is a space where strategic thinking meets creative action with the intention to shift the current framework of art critique hierarchy to highlight work outside metro-centered locales.”

Filmmaker Sean Claffey, director of the award-winning documentary AMERICONNED.

  • "AMERICONNED is a film about income inequality in the US and the tragic destabilizing effects to Americans. Radical inequality has led to radicalization at every level of society, and this powerful documentary depicts what happens when America hits its tipping point by looking back through our history at similar critical moments of instability. In this David vs. Goliath story, Chris Smalls leads a movement to unionize Amazon workers for the first time, after the corporation fired Smalls for speaking up for workers’ rights. They are inspiring legions of workers to, as the late, great Congressman John Lewis said, get into 'good trouble.'” More information: https://shinethelightfilms.com
