Massey Klein is thrilled to announce that Jude Griebel is the 2024 Folly Tree Arboretum Dancing Tree Award recipient.
Folly Tree Arboretum is devoted to the idea that compelling storytelling is an essential component of lasting environmental change. Communicating the scale, immediacy, impact, and paths of action regarding ecological crisis is one of the most pressing issues of our time. The Dancing Tree Award aims to promote new voices and novel ways of cultural production that are optimistic in approach and run counter to prevailing trends of nihilism and inaction. The Arboretum supports projects that articulate the complexity of our relationship to the natural world in ways that are hopeful, inspiring, humorous, risky, exciting, wacky, provocative, weird, experimental, playful, irreverent, or unexpectedly effective. The Dancing Tree Award acknowledges work that demonstrates an exuberant way forward in the face of seemingly impossible ecological challenges.
