These are recorded moments from the “Stories of Climate Change/Historias del Cambio Climático” community mural project.
If you find yourself wandering the streets of Aspen, Carbondale, or Glenwood Springs this month, you will be greeted by collages of oversized self-portraits pasted on Colorado Mountain College buildings.
The valley-wide art installation is made up of the faces of 89 community members who recorded stories of their experiences with climate change. They spanned ages two to 78 and they told their stories in both English and Spanish. They shared a connection to the Roaring Fork Valley and to this prompt: “Climate change knows no boundaries. The health of the planet affects and unites us all. What has your experience been?”

The Community Office For Resource Efficiency (CORE) is launching a valley-wide art installation to tell the story of climate change, in partnership with a host of local organizations, including Colorado Mountain College.
The community mural project “Stories of Climate Change/Historias del Cambio Climático” is a part of both CORE’s third annual Imagine Climate series and the Inside Out Project created by renowned muralist JR.
Community members are invited to join in the project by submitting a selfie and a voice recording in the language of their choice about their experience of climate change. Participant’s photos and stories will be displayed on the outside of Colorado Mountain College campus buildings in Aspen, Carbondale and Glenwood Springs beginning in early March.
