In the first event of Sightline’s 20th anniversary speaker series, Seattle photographer Chris Jordan will take audience members through a moving exploration of fabled Midway Island. For three years, he immersed himself in the stunning environmental tragedy unfolding in the heart of the Pacific Ocean. His photos and film project recount his harrowing and redemptive journey into horror, beauty, grief, love, and ultimately, healing.

I saw a “sneak preview” of this work while still in progress, almost two years ago. It is a stunningly beautiful, lovingly portrayed visually moving portrayal of tragedy! I have been picking up every stray bit of plastic and foil wrapper that I see potentially headed for a storm drain ever since I saw it. I look forward to finally seeing the final product. Chris is amazing!

Any chance you’ll be coming up to BC with your anniversary speaker series? I’d love to see Chris Jordan, but it’d be difficult to blast down to Seattle mid-week.

Hi, Ray. Unfortunately, no, the entire speaker series will take place here in Seattle.
