The Elephant in the Room

2019

trash bags, tape, foot pumps

I created an inflatable elephant to protest climate change and the “elephant in the room” conversation the University of Michigan administration is not having about divestment from fossil fuels.

I took this elephant to the December 5th Regent’s Meeting in which they discussed the endowment without mention of divestment from fossil fuels. I inflated the elephant at the protest outside the meeting, led by the Climate Action Movement and the One University Campaign.
