Nancy Agati

Nancy Agati (she/her/hers) is a Philadelphia artist whose multidisciplinary work includes works on paper, sculpture, textile, site-specific installation, and public art. Agati holds a BFA from Alfred University, School of Art & Design, NY, and an MFA from The University of the Arts, Philadelphia. She has exhibited her work widely throughout Philadelphia and nationally, with exhibitions at the Philadelphia Art Alliance, Fairmount Water Works, Philadelphia, PA; Hillyer Art Space, Washington, DC; Newhouse Center for Contemporary Art, Staten Island, NY; and The Calandra Italian American Institute, NY. Recent sculptural installations about nature and the environment were created for the New Jersey Coastal Climate Resilience Project in Atlantic City, the FLOW exhibit at The Independence Seaport Museum, Philadelphia; and We All Fall Down at The Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education, Philadelphia. 

Patterns, movement, and the flow of water have been recurring subjects of Agati’s work and have led to several public art projects. Agati’s essay, entitled “Noticing Water”, was published by Cleaver Literary Magazine in 2014. Her work is in several public collections, including recent acquisitions from the Pennsylvania Convention Center and Temple University, Fox School of Business. Agati has been a recipient of a Windows of Opportunity Award From the Leeway Foundation and has been awarded artist residencies at the Santa Fe Art Institute, New Mexico; Lo Studio dei Nipoti, Calabria, Italy; Main & Station, Nova Scotia; and the Pennsylvania Horticultural Center at Meadowbrook Farm.

Stacy Levy

Stacy Levy Artist

Stacy Levy is an artist who works with rain, urban tides, and watersheds, using a blended language of science and art to tell the ecological story of a site. Her projects reveal the action of the natural world in the urban environment, showing the passage of rain from sky to sea; making visible vast watersheds; and drawing attention to the amplitude and timing of urban tides. Some of her projects create working treatment solutions for water pollution, stormwater runoff, and habitat creation. In making large-scale works on sites from parking lots to nature centers, Levy works closely with engineers, landscape architects, ecologists, hydrologists, and biologists to solve issues on site. She blends an understanding of sustainable design and ecological concepts, harnessing the ephemeral changes of tides, water flow, weather, and seasons with the lasting presence of sculpture. Her pieces are direct collaborations with the forces of water.

Levy has created temporary and permanent works in Philadelphia, New York, Seattle, Phoenix, Tampa, Miami, San Antonio, Fayetteville, AR, Scotland, and Japan. Her permanent commissioned works include those for the Independence Seaport Museum, the Philadelphia International Airport, the Pittsburgh Children’s Museum, the Ontario Science Centre, and Penn State University’s Arboretum. She holds a BA from Yale University in art and forestry, an MFA from Tyler School of Art at Temple University, and has also studied at the Architectural Association in London. Levy began her work as an urban forester in the Mid-Atlantic region; from 1985 through 1991, she was a founding partner of Sere Ltd. Native Landscape Restoration, an urban forestry firm that worked with municipal, corporate and private clients to restore the remnant woodlands and meadows in city parks, corporate campuses, and residences and to bring the architecture of the native forest back into the landscape. 

Levy has been working as an eco-revelatory artist in the public realm for 29 years. She has lectured on new ways of translating urban ecology throughout the United States and in Sweden, England, Scotland, China, and Japan. Her keynote talks include those for The Riparian Buffer Summit, the Maryland Outdoor Educators Conference, AIA Sarasota Design Conference, American Institute of Architects Philadelphia Chapter, and the New Jersey Chapter of the Society of Landscape Architects. In addition to many other talks and symposia, Levy has been awarded the Henry Meigs Environmental Leadership Award, the Penn Future Award for Women in Conservation, and a Pew Fellowship in the Arts. Her work has been included in several books, most recently Eliza Pennypacker & Stuart Echols’ Artful Rain Water Design (2015), Sophie Barbaux’s Unique Gardens (2015), and The New Earthwork: Art, Action, Agency (2012), edited by Glenn Harper and Twylene Moyer.

2022 Ecotopian Toolkit Project in Partnership with Independence Seaport Museum

Tool making is a signature trait of the human species. What tools can we make, and might we require, in the age of the human, the anthropocene: a name for the present geological epoch when humans are the most potent force shaping earth’s systems? Global warming and other anthropocene challenges, including the ongoing sixth mass extinction event, often lead to apocalyptic visions, or apathy. Through the Ecotopian Toolkit initiative, we explore a longer history of the anthropocene to help represent—and respond to—our contemporary moment. Might a utopian approach to the problem of global warming help us navigate warmer, rising waters and build forms of refuge? What tools can STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) educators in universities, museums, and nonprofits design and develop via the history of utopia and its hope for better futures?

In 2017, PPEH hosted our first design competition and a series of workshops to build ecotopian tools for WetLand, the art boat-meets-science lab conceived by then-PPEH Artist-in-Residence Mary Mattingly, in cooperation with Bartram’s Garden. In 2018 we partnered with Bartram's Garden and ran a design competition inviting proposals for tools designed with the Schuylkill River at Bartram's in mind, and in 2019 we worked with the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge at Tinicum to do much the same. Each year "toolmakers" were selected from the pool of applicants, provided a stipend by PPEH to realize their design proposal (or a prototype), and asked to offer a public workshop about the tool. Workshops ranged from community build sessions to construct Jacob Rivkin and Eric Blasco’s floating bio-remediating water filter and bird habitat, to more traditional lectures like Deirdre Murphy’s discussion of her process of creating prints from historic and current migratory data. Other toolmakers offered book-writing and design workshops for children, guided trash walks, multi-species movement and listening studios, and more.

Now in 2021, PPEH is supporting the creation of another cohort of human toolmakers who will retain an engagement with floating on/sinking in/and otherwise living with urban waters; and will similarly explore what it might mean to face contemporary ecological challenges with critically attuned and creatively oriented tools. In partnership with the Independence Seaport Museum (ISM), we will turn our focus to the Delaware River and to water justice. Each artist/team's project will be highlighted in a public demonstration led by the artist/team, documented on the PPEH and Schuylkill Corps websites, and archived and included in ongoing Toolkit initiatives. 

 Call for 2022 Ecotopian Toolmakers for Delaware Watershed Justice

In cooperation with the Independence Seaport Museum, the Penn Program for Environmental Humanities invites you to participate in a project to create Ecotopian Tools for water justice in the Delaware River watershed. Successful proposals for Ecotopian Tools will be explored in designer-led public workshops at the museum and will feature in the companion exhibit and catalog.

The river runs 330 miles through the traditional homelands of the Lenape people, called the Delaware by English settler colonists. Its multi-species communities have undergone many dramatic changes, many driven by humans, and its current inhabitants face increasing climate risks, including flooding and toxicity. Today, the river provides drinking water for some fifteen million humans, and the basin offers habitat to 400 types of birds; 90 fish species; macro- and microinvertebrates; iconic native species, including shad; and invasives, such as snakeheads. 

The river is tidal as far up as Trenton, and it rises and falls six feet twice daily (ten at Trenton). The Delaware River port complex--spanning Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania--is one of the largest shipping areas in the United States and the largest freshwater port in the world, moving vast quantities of petroleum and petrochemical products and more. A recently concluded project to deepen the 103-mile main shipping channel resulted in a considerable expansion to the capacity of the Port of Philadelphia (or PhilaPort). Climate impacts the river and its ten sub-watersheds in a variety of ways. As the region gets hotter and wetter, extreme weather can overwhelm infrastructure built for a bygone climate regime; more severe storms bring larger surges; and sea level rise is already being felt in the river's tidal section.

Proposals will introduce “ecotopian” tools, whether conceptual or realized, that might be used by inhabitants of the watershed to support its diverse, multi-species community as we learn to adapt and respond to our changing local environment: sinking, submerging, immersing, diving, soaking in climate-changing waters. Inspired by utopian writing and projects across cultures, traditions, and times, the word "ecotopian" is borrowed from Ernest Callenbach's 1975 novel, Ecotopia. An Ecotopian Tool for Water Justice should spark awareness to apprehend and address the multiplying effects of climate change on the basin’s diverse communities. Previous Ecotopian Tools have included guided tours, workshops, community-built floating sculptures, community science initiatives, data visualizations, and more. 

Successful proposals will be selected by a jury of eight interdisciplinary and community experts–Alexis Cabrera (Youth Programs Supervisor, Independence Seaport Museum); Kate Farquhar (Landscape Architect); Terrill Haigler (Ya Fav Trashman); Stacy Levy (Artist); Joshua Moses (Associate Professor of Anthropology and Environmental Studies; Visual Culture, Arts, and Media Faculty Fellow (2020-2022), Haverford College); Howard Neukrug (Professor of Professional Practice, Earth and Environmental Science and Director, The Water Center at Penn, University of Pennsylvania); Maya K. van Rossum (Environmentalist and Delaware Riverkeeper); and Zay (River Ambassador, Independence Seaport Museum); chaired by Bethany Wiggin (Founding Director of the Penn Program in Environmental Humanities, an Associate Professor of German and member of the Graduate Groups in Comparative Literature and English, University of Pennsylvania).

Each Toolmaker will be awarded micro-grants of $1000 to allow for the proposed Ecotopian Tool to be explored, prototyped, and possibly built, distributed, and used in the watershed and on the River. Throughout late spring and early summer 2022, Toolmakers will work with the ISM and PPEH to lead a series of participatory public workshops featuring their Tool and its applications. Research proposals and outcomes will feature in the Museum's community gallery; a fall 2022 workshop at the University of Pennsylvania will result in the creation of a print Catalog for Ecotopian Tools and a companion digital exhibit.
