How art can help us envision climate futures
@ The Theatre School at DePaul University
2350 N Racine Ave, Chicago, IL 60614
Opening Saturday, May 17th, from 1PM - 2:30PM
Join us for a panel discussion with four Chicago-based artists exploring the role of art and artists in confronting the current climate crisis. This panel conversation will discuss how art can not only help us share awareness of the climate crisis but, perhaps more importantly, help us envision a new climate future for all.
Dr. Mika Tosca (she/her) is a trained climate scientist, educator, artist, activist, and humanist who imagines the ways that artists can collaborate with climate scientists to better communicate and conduct climate science research.
Jim Duignan (he/him) is an artist and professor at DePaul University where he also serves as the Chair of Visual Art Education. In 1995, he formed the Stockyard Institute as a civic artist project in the Back of the Yards community of south Chicago, which was influenced by community artists, revolutionaries, local activities, and radical teachers.
Kristin Idaszak (she/they) is an internationally produced playwright, dramaturg, and producer whose recent work focuses on the intersection of climate change, gender, and queerness.
Cydney Lewis (she/her) is a multimedia artist focused on imagining multidimensional landscapes created from everyday objects that reflect the world we live in, consume, and fill with things.
