BEACON is a participatory immersive experience at the Green House Gallery in Huntsville, Utah that helps people move beyond climate awareness into climate participation.
Through Indigenous art, storytelling, and spatial audio, BEACON invites visitors to consider what they hope to send forward to future generations. At its center is the BEACON Hearth, an immersive projection environment where each visitor becomes a contributor, leaving a story, memory, or hope that joins a growing community archive.
The project is rooted in the climate challenges of the Wasatch Mountains, including declining snowpack, changing watersheds, and shifting ecosystems. Informed by the legacy of the Bacone Collection, BEACON treats stewardship as the work of carrying stories, knowledge, and relationships forward for the people who come next.
What the grant supports Indigenous artist collaboration, immersive media, projection and spatial audio, and the open community contribution archive.
