A. Laurie Palmer's work, in writing, art, and whatever it takes, focuses on undoing and re-crafting human practices of relating with the material world towards building just, livable, and joyful social and environmental relations. She is a member of multiple nascent and long-term collectivities and dedicated to the hard work of collaboration. Her book, The Lichen Museum (2023) explores lichens’ role as an anti-capitalist companion and climate change survivor as well as a collective organism. She is a Professor in the Art Department at the University of California Santa Cruz, and a faculty member of the Environmental Art & Social Practice MFA program, also at UCSC.
