A SERIES OF THREE UNIQUE EVENTS WILL EXPLORE THE WAYS PARTICIPATORY ARTS PRACTICES CAN BE USED TO ADDRESS CLIMATE ANXIETY
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Two driving questions will be explored at each of the one day symposiums:
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?
EACH ONE DAY SYMPOSIUM WILL FEATURE:
Artists and climate research specialists led sessions
Participants will unpack and explore the two driving questions
Participants will use creative practices to build hope, stewardship and resilience in the face of climate change
Participants will develop artistic strategies to generate strength, channel grief, and build solidarity in response to local trauma resulting from extreme weather event
