Climate Chronicles Storytelling Public Circle
Full Description:
Climate change is not one story. It is millions of them. And on August 16, you will hear some of them. Come out to Governors Island and support a phenomenal group of immigrant women as they share powerful, deeply personal stories about climate change, identity, resilience, home, and building a life in New York City.
These are real voices, real lives, and real experiences — told out loud, from the heart.
This project is made possible thanks to the generous support of Con Edison. Their support sends a strong message: that immigrant women’s voices matter, and that they belong at the center of the fight for climate justice and a better future for all.
Join us for an afternoon of live storytelling.
What to expect:
Live personal stories by immigrant women from New York City
Personal stories exploring climate change through lived experience
An intimate, welcoming atmosphere inside a historic house on Governors Island
Time to connect with the storytellers and explore the space afterward
This event is free and open to all. No background in climate or storytelling required, just curiosity and an open heart.

A Day on Governors Island
There will be many other artist residency spaces and events happening throughout the island, and we encourage you to explore and visit other spaces as part of your day.
We also recommend bringing a reusable water bottle, as there are water refill stations throughout the island.
There are several restaurants and food vendors on Governors Island, as well as beautiful green areas perfect for walking, relaxing, or having a picnic. You are also welcome to bring your own food or snacks if you prefer.
