A webinar exploring how the arts and culture sector responds to environmental challenges
Join Arts Council Wood Buffalo for a webinar exploring how artists, curators and cultural organizations are responding to environmental challenges through exhibitions, public art and community programming.
Using real-world case studies, a panel of experts will examine how place, collaboration and curatorial decision-making shape projects that engage with climate change and our relationships to land.
The event will conclude with a live audience Q&A.
Free and open to the public. This event will be presented virtually on Zoom.
