In this article, I share the story of "The Positive Energy Quilts," a collective environmental adult education art project on Vancouver Island, British Columbia that challenged the building of a power plant. I illustrate how this project creatively, poignantly, and stealthily drew out knowledge, and visual-counter narratives, challenged mainstream messages, and attracted media attention. This project provided an imaginative, intentional forum where power was both contested and exercised on the neo-liberal ecological landscape.
