Maya Lin: Ghost Forest

Maya Lin’s Ghost Forest, a towering stand of forty-nine haunting Atlantic white cedar trees, is a newly-commissioned public art work. Lin brings her vision as an artist and her agency as an environmental activist to this project, a memory of germination, vegetation, and abundance and a harsh symbol of the devastation of climate change. The height of each tree, around forty feet, overwhelms human scale and stands as a metaphor of the outsized impact of a looming environmental calamity.

Starting Nov. 2 2021, at SWG3 Studios, Glasgow, and online.

In concert with the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), scheduled to take place in Scotland, this November, The New York Times is setting up a 10-day event featuring live journalism, thought leadership and action on climate change. Called The New York Times Climate Hub, it will be moderated by climate reporter Somini Sengupta.
