Earth Day Alert! is a project by kHyal within booth A2 Revival Arts
Revival Arts presents Earth Day Alert! showcasing the work of self-taught artists who bring awareness to growing environmental issues and the mystical inspiration of the natural world. Earth Day Alert! showcases environmental activism using art as its anthem of awareness and change.
From the early work of renowned artist William Kent (1919-2012) to current initiatives by kHyal, climate change landscapes by Dorothy Hershman, nature inspired clay board carvings of Peter Wickenden. Earth Day Alert will travel to The New York Public Library@ Thompkins Square on Saturday, April 19, from 1–4pm featuring poetry, presentations and mini theatrical works.
kHyal (b. 1961), an environmental activist and digital art pioneer, has been working with recycled materials since the early 1980s. Her totemic sculptures, crafted from reclaimed plastic castoffs, are both beautiful and terrifying—a wake-up call to action. Her current projects include "The Sound of Plastic," addressing ocean pollution and horseshoe crab protection along Long Island Sound; the world’s only "Plastic Horse Rescue," rehoming discarded plastic horses, ponies, and unicorns; and "Toy Ocean: Out to See," exploring the intersection of our relationship with material objects and the waste stream. A Certified Climate Reality Leader and Beyond Plastics advocate, kHyal conducts horseshoe crab conservation as a citizen scientist in Connecticut coastal areas. Recently accepted into NYC’s Sanitation Department’s Trash Academy, her work spans art, education, and activism to catalyze environmental change.
