As a satellite event to Adriana G. Prat’s exhibit Topographies of the Collective Misfortunes, join us for a live panel with i3C artists on Wednesday June 1st at 6 PM EST. i3C (Inspiring Change for Climate Crisis) is a multidisciplinary group of 17 artists from Massachusetts, New York, and Pennsylvania. Curated by artist and scientist Adriana G. Prat, the creative collective presents environmentally conscious art exhibits and associated community programming. Their diverse backgrounds and art practices contribute to their shared commitment to the topic of the climate crisis.

The event centers around artists presenting how their work represents a response to the climate crisis. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own experiences and ideas into the discussion. Breakout rooms will provide opportunities to brainstorm solutions and promote a sense of community.
