A PANEL DISCUSSION AT SHOWFIELD MIAMI ON DEC 5 AT 4PM
In these unsettling and yet hopeful times, ARTSail Residency and Research Initiative, SHOWFIELDS and #ARTiculatingClimate have partnered up to discuss with a handful of Miami-based artists/activists how the concept of ‘political-timing-specific’ applies to their practice in the specific context of the climate emergency.
In the form of a dynamic and interactive conversation, this panel explores how cultural producers can make their own practices more sustainable and help communities do the same, while holding businesses and public servants accountable when they don’t. How can artists leverage their voices to shape policies that can have a real and lasting impact on our environment and our communities? Are there best practices we should be looking at and learn from?
From coral bleaching to the Everglades conservation efforts, through to the monumental issue of plastic pollution that is overwhelming our oceans and the preservation of indigenous culture, these four talented creators will share enlightening insights into their artmaking processes and how they are making a difference through their art and activism.
