A Year Ago Today: Communities Reflect on the CZU Lightning Complex Fires

Join collaborators from across the county as we collectively reflect on the one year anniversary of the 2020 CZU Lightning Complex Fires.
This event will highlight the stories of those affected by these fires as part of the MAH’s new exhibition Out of the Ashes, which features an ongoing film and audio archiving project by Shmuel and Nikki who began collaborating with MAH in September 2020 to document and record some of the personal stories of those who were impacted by these devastating fires.
The evening will also feature a preview screening of Contents Inventory by local filmmaker Irene Lusztig who has also been working closely with affected members of the community to document and share their stories. We hope you’ll join us at the MAH for an evening of collective storytelling and visioning our next steps as a community that continues to deal with the threat of fire and climate change. Comments and recommendations provided during this program will help shape an ongoing series of programs that will run throughout the year.
