This semester's series addresses the urgency of the climate crisis and the effect of human actions on the environment, inviting artists to talk about the ways in which their practice engages with the topic of climate justice, and the unlikely collaborators needed in order to shift our mindsets, practices, and conversations about how we live our lives.
