A Climate One Conversation Online with Alonzo King
Alonzo King is a featured speaker at Climate One’s upcoming event: Climate Change Through the Artist’s Eyes. We hope you’ll join us online for this FREE engaging conversation hosted by Climate One Founder Greg Dalton. More details below.
Images of dancers or sculptures don’t leap to mind with the mention of climate change. But artists are increasingly using the carbon conundrum as a creative lens, using their mediums to design cultural moments that bring people together. As storytellers, artists are reaching people on a deeper and more emotional level than the cerebral facts and charts often used to shape the climate narrative.
Can art reach and activate people on climate in new and compelling ways? How can art convey the joy of nature and the grief of how humans are destroying it? Join us for a conversation about art, beauty and humanity in the age of climate disruption with Alonzo King, whose new work is inspired by the beauty and tragedy unfolding in the Arctic. Also joining is senior curator Nora Lawrence for Climate One, whose sculptural exhibit at Storm King Art Center in New York showcases artwork inspired by severe weather and climate impacts.
This program is generously underwritten by the Sidney E. Frank Foundation.
