In this episode, Natalya and Marie are joined by Michael Henry, Dale Kronkright, and Pita Judy Lopez about their collaborative work with the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum and Foundation and how they have leveraged institutional resources and mandates to support local community needs. This episode also explores the overlap and integration of traditional knowledge into modern conservation practice and the capacity for technical conservation practice to have impact beyond institutional boundaries.
