Maria Mitchell Assoc – The Nature of Nantucket – Holly Greenberg
On this week’s episode of the Maria Mitchell Association podcast The Nature of Nantucket, host Joanna Roche speaks with Holly Greenberg—professor at Syracuse University and Director of Bird Collisions in the Anthropocene. Holly shares the story behind her public-art project raising awareness of bird deaths from window collisions, where over 10,800 handmade fabric birds visualize this hidden crisis. She also reflects on her Nantucket origin story, how the island shaped her creative journey, and her father’s early connection to the Maria Mitchell Association itself.
