Schedule
🎨 12:00 - 2:00 PM: Art show opening reception
📚 2:00 - 3:30 PM: Climate Creatives Workshop
🎤 3:30 - 5:00 PM: Open Mic (please sign up to perform here.)
Where is our economy going, and what role do artists, scientists, and community builders play? Join our Climate Creatives community for a speculative fiction workshop to envision the new economy, paired with a skill share to make a world of green jobs a reality!
Before the workshop, join us for an art show opening reception. Brooklyn-based musician e-voque presents LIQUESCENT, a multi-sensory exploration of melting icecaps and overfishing, asking the audience to reflect on topical climate realities through a fantastical lens. LIQUESCENT will be on display at the Climate Imaginarium from July 19th to August 19th.
After the workshop, art and climate collide during our creatives open mic. You got poetry? You can sing? Visual art? Dance? All of the above? Show us what you got — and pass along the inspiration for everyone! Sign up here to perform.
The Climate Creatives Community Series is presented by Climate Imaginarium in partnership with Climate Cafe NYC and Sixth Fest.
