Moth Migration Project: Call for Entries

Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary will host the Moth Migration Project from July 18 - September 30, 2018. The Moth Migration Project is a crowd-sourced collection of hand printed, drawn and cut paper moths founded by Hilary Lorenz. This collection will be exhibited in an installation along walls of the Heard exhibit halls. The featured moths will include species native to our region. Choosing moths, a nocturnal pollinator, as the vehicle for cross-pollination and international exchange, and using social media, Lorenz invites people to create paper moths native to their geographic location.

Individuals and groups that would like to join the Moth Migration Project and be included in exhibitions are encouraged to apply (materials are due June 20, 2018). No experience is required. Everyone from any part of the world is welcome. To learn more about how to participate, visit this page: http://mothmigrationproject.net/join/

The Moth Migration Project spans all cultures, ages, countries. It is a tool for community building in both physical and digital worlds. These moth ambassadors will also help the Heard illustrate their role in their ecosystems.
