This was created as a collaboration between myself, my daughter, Devon Galpin Clarke, and Mexican artist, Diana Garcia, to create a series of endangered animal drawings to be pasted up around cities as street art to bring the conservation conversation into urban environments and public spaces based on a series of field research trips Devon and I did as Endangered Activism. Devon based the story of the endangered species on the concept of what we lose if we allow extinction to continue and how it has a ripple effect beyond the loss of a single species. We launched the first series of #WhatWeLose in Paris, France, together in June 2018 with a city-wide takeover of sixteen walls. Diana taught Devon the process of pasting. We were invited by the Oxford City Council to paste the series inside the historic Covered Market and add footprints. A few weeks later, we brought the exhibition home to Colorado with our inclusion at Denver’s international CRUSH Walls Streetart Festival, where we added a black rhino based on our field research in Namibia as a nod to the RiNo art district that hosted the festival. We expanded with entire streets of wildlife tracks and animal crossing road signs to create a multi-media storyline around extinction to take over the arts district.
