A Professor Emerita of the Community College of Philadelphia with additional teaching experience at Princeton University, Burko has received multiple grants from the NEA, the Pennsylvania Arts Council, the Leeway Foundation, and the Independence Foundation. She has received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Women\u2019s Caucus for Art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After focusing for several decades on monumental geological formations and waterways through landscape painting, Burko has shifted in the past 20 years to analyze the impact of industrial and colonial activity on those same landscapes. Burko\u2019s practice seeks to visually emulsify interconnected subjects\u2013 extraction, deforestation, extinction, environmental justice, indigenous genocide, ecological degradation, climate collapse\u2013 so viewers might feel their connection viscerally through the beauty of her work. While her work deals with impending climate catastrophe, rather than lingering in dystopia, it celebrates the sublimity of the landscape by honoring the intricate geological and political webs that shape the identity of a place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Saul Zaentz Screening Room<\/strong><br><strong>JHU\/CVA Film Centre, 2nd Floor<\/strong><br>10 E.
