Howard E. Woodin Environmental Studies Colloquium Series: Art in the Age of Planetary Distress

“Art in the Age of Planetary Distress” by Karen McCoy, Professor, Kansas City Art Institute Sculpture Department, and Social Practice

This talk questions how we might make art that contributes in a meaningful way to the current conversation surrounding climate change. While simultaneously seeking to deepen our own understanding of this complicated context, will we creative humans move beyond raising awareness to catalyze action? In order to discover what this art looks like we will examine a few selected examples and discuss them.
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC?: Yes

Cosponsored by the Dean for the Arts
