Background

The climate crisis can be thought of as a crisis of the imagination; of how we conceptualize and narrate human systems and their possibilities. This project will bring different groups of people together (scientists, artists, organizers) to weave climate stories and map them into physical territories.I will design a series of workshops where climate scientists and artists to co-create pieces that portray climate science through diverse media.The broad objective of the project is to bridge climate science (both physical science and environmental theory) with climate action through artistic and community practices. How can we map climate stories into a territory?How can we apprehend climate science through soundscapes?How can a fact be emotionally felt, embodied?The question of how to narrate carefully and enact new world-narratives remains broad and present.
