The festival brings together students, faculty, researchers, artists, designers, and community partners to explore the intersections of creative practice, ecology, climate justice, and public engagement. We are welcoming proposals for exhibitions, installations, performances, screenings, lightning talks, and tabling activities.
April 22nd, our main Earth Week gathering day, will be a full day of exhibitions, lightning talks, spoken word, film screenings, and community engagement, a wonderful opportunity for students to experience and participate in creative climate work in action. Faculty are also welcome to bring their classes to the festival.
