Programming note: today at 1-3 pm CST (11 AM-2 PM PST) I will be live tweeting the #SHA2021 forum "Three-Minute Climate Stories: Sharing Place-Based Perspectives on Heritage at Risk" sponsored by the Heritage at Risk Committee (see below screenshot/alt text for participants)

Thanks @semiller88 for inviting me to be your session hype person I am gonna do my best to tag folks' handles correctly *and* synthesize succinctly & accurately.

More session details and tweets at: #SHA2021 #FOR15 https://twitter.com/semiller88/status/1347248030186156032?s=20

Finally figured it out Missed the first 4 short clips, now watching Emma Gilheany's clip. There will be 6 three-minute clips including this one and then the discussion which I will be live-tweeting. I'll leave it to folks to share or not share their videos publicly!

Love to see a reference to pandemic disposable plastics waste/PPE litter/diagnostics of our current era in one of the clips even before we start talking! Acknowledging the "now" is important. Risk is now.

We are now hearing from #SHA2021 #FOR15 discussants Sarah Miller ( @semiller88) of Florida Public Arch. Network & Marcy Rockman ( @marcyrockman) who now works at ICOMOS.

. @marcyrockman highlights how useful and important the video format (visual perspective of creator, sounds added, etc.) has helped communicate the impact of climate change on the ground - as a viewer it's different than photos or even a conference talk #SHA2021 #FOR15

. @semiller88 shares two movies which helped her visualize and understand more about the sensory experience of environmental change: Chasing Ice & Chasing Coral. #SHA2021 #FOR15

Each of the video creators are reflecting on how the construction of a three-minute video about climate change helped them think differently about which risks were most impacting the archaeology, and how they acknowledge climate in their daily work. #SHA2021 #FOR15

The sense I'm getting is that folks had a general sense of climate change impacting sites and their relations to other stakeholders. Focusing on the topic seems to have made them examine their assumptions and discuss those with collaborators. #SHA2021 #FOR15

One panelist is describing how making video, including showing images of people and even site interpretations might put folks at risk in their outside lives. By extension, I would say community members who engage with us decide to invest in us and trust us. #SHA2021 #FOR15

. @marcyrockman shares a format for thinking about/constructing a narrative (Olson's "and...but...therefore"), asks panelists if that helped them w their video. She mentions that we are all going through this processing today in light of the insurrection yesterday. #SHA2021 #FOR15

Important resources shared in the chat of this session include the discussion "Black and Indigenous Storytelling as Counter-History" hosted by @SbaArch @IndigArchs @WennerGrenOrg in November 2020: https://vimeo.com/469900658  #SHA2021 #FOR15

Another shared resource: the Heritage at Risk online exhibit highlighting the impacts of climate change on heritage sites & stakeholder communities. These case studies are hosted on the @SHA_org website & described in this FPAN blog post: https://fpangoingpublic.blogspot.com/2020/01/shas-heritage-at-risk-online-exhibit.html #SHA2021 #FOR15

Attendee points out in the chat that we are discussing "climate stories" as singular or even coherent entities but can we make the choice to tell multiple stories? Whose perspectives do we present? #SHA2021 #FOR15

One of the panelists points out that resources are so limited that we have to select where to use them best. @semiller88 adds that we can partner with those telling related stories so that we can avoid this simplistic approach to heritage stories. #SHA2021 #FOR15

Another panelist is pointing out that we can use these narratives to shift focus away from the "built environment" and re-incorporate archaeology, which excels in uncovering perspectives that have been played down in the process of allocating heritage resources #SHA2021 #FOR15

. @marcyrockman is asking panelists to reflect on how they conceptualized the audience for a 3-minute climate video for their project. Did they select a narrative by considering a particular viewer? What do they already know about archaeology or climate change? #SHA2021 #FOR15

An Indigenous panelist is describing how Indigenous people exist in a place of tension in addressing climate change -- it is frustrating to put energy into preserving your heritage resources when your cultural traditions did not primarily create this situation #SHA2021 #FOR15
