Claudia attends the Black Earth Institute Fellowship retreat for the first year of her fellowship with the 2018 fellows in Wisconsin.

The Black Earth Institute seeks to help create a more just and deeply interconnected world and promote the health of the planet. To do so artists are appointed as Fellows for a term and Scholars join as advisors. BEI then encourages and supports its present and past Fellows and Scholars to address social justice, environmental issues and the spiritual dimensions of the human condition in their art and work.
