NoCo Bird Alliance 4/9 Program - Online & In Person

[Cassie Cranmore]

April 9th Program - “Feathers Through Time” with Harper Bovberg

This talk will focus on how different cultures throughout history have portrayed birds and why they made the decisions they did in those portrayals. Mostly centering on visual art mediums, this discussion goes back thousands of years and around the world to look at the long-lasting human fascination with our feathered companions. Each section will discuss what birds are represented, how they're portrayed, why they're portrayed that way, and what it says about the culture that made the art.

Harper Bovberg has spent her life in Colorado around artists and historians. It was logical for her to attend CSU and get a bachelor's degree in history. Her unique theatrical and visual focus means the subjects she explores are less about what something is and more about why it is that way. Despite not being a birder or birdwatcher herself, her knowledge of art and visual choices lends a unique perspective.
