Roger Peet is an artist and printmaker currently living in Portland, OR. His work tends to focus on issues of ecology and violence, and on relations between the human and non-human realms. He collaborates with artists, activists, and scientists around the globe in the service of a more generous and a wilder world.
Portland and Wild Idaho Rising Tide, are social activist organizations that are part of an international, all-volunteer, grassroots network of groups and individuals who organize locally, promote community-based solutions to the climate crisis and take direct action to confront the root causes of climate change.
CultureStrike, in collaboration with Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative, has forged partnerships between artists and frontline environmental justice organizations to create a provocative, limited-edition art print portfolio, called We are the Storm, that highlights the urgency of climate change on these communities.
The portfolio draws inspiration from the powerful work of grassroots groups that are championing creative and community-based solutions to combat climate change. The artworks bring voices from frontline communities that are being the most impacted by climate change and destructive environmental practices, to the forefront of the climate change discussion.
