Press Release: “Imagining Climate Futures, Anthology II” Gallery Exhibition Opening, Climate Futures Studio & NYC Climate Week
Curated and announced “Imagining Climate Futures,” a multidisciplinary exhibition presented as an official Climate Week NYC event at Queens Council on the Arts. The show featured 18 original works by the 2025 Climate Storytelling 2075 cohort, spanning media from video and sound to textiles and data driven visuals, each offering bold, justice rooted visions of 2075 grounded in optimism.
“Strike the Heart:” The Role of Artivism in Climate Advocacy
Moderated public conversation with human rights activist and environmental justice leader Kumi Naidoo, former Secretary General of Amnesty International, and climate justice journalist Yessenia Funes, editor at large of Atmos, on climate communication strategies that bypass the brain to strike the heart. Together, we explored the role of art and activism in the climate justice movement as a way to shift public imagination by making the abstract personal, transforming despair into courage, and helping movements sustain pressure against extractive systems.
