This one day symposium will feature artists and climate research specialists in sessions in which participants unpack and explore the two driving questions:
To what degree can Canada’s arts-sector play a role in addressing the growing levels of climate change anxiety being experienced within communities? What methodologies and artistic practices can be deployed to generate climate hope, nature and water stewardship, and build community resilience?
Participants will use creative practices to build hope, stewardship and resilience in the face of climate change while developing artistic strategies to generate strength, channel grief, and build solidarity in response to local trauma resulting from extreme weather events.
Be a part of this deep dive into climate resilience through art, and bring your unique contribution to our rich and diverse community of speakers and participants.
