Hello,

The next OpenHour will be Monday, May 1st at 8pm ET (12am GMT) on "Art in Environmental Science Advocacy."

Often, environmental issues are politically charged, hard to understand, and difficult to approach. Art can be a powerful way to open and share dialogue. Environmental advocacy art has taken many forms: documentaries, visual pieces, performance, and written word to name a few. These tools help us to engage on challenging environmental issues in more dynamic ways and with new people. In this OpenHour we'll be joined by individuals who exercise the intersections of Art and Environmental Science in their work:

  • Beka Economopoulos and Jason Jones of The Natural History Museum. This mobile and pop-up museum highlights the socio-political forces that shape nature, and champions bold climate action. Beka and Jason are co-founders of Not An Alternative a collective that works at the intersection of art, activism and critical theory.
  • Catherine D'Ignazio: Assistant Professor of Civic Media and Data Visualization at Emerson College. Catherine's work includes Boston Coastline: Future Past and the Babbling Brook.
  • Matej Vakula is a New York based artist, educator & DIY enthusiast. Co-founder of CLAKULA Art Productions and Founding Director of Open Source Space Administration Institute for Alternative Research, Matej's work explores the impact of culture, technology, location and politics on personal experience, social interrelationships, body, and nature.
