About this event

  • 2 hours

Come for a community conversation about the intersections between art and disaster / emergency preparedness. What information do you wish you knew before a disaster (like flooding, power outages, severe rainstorms). What are physical materials that you wish that the city provided you for free? What are strategies for emotional preparedness? And more broadly, can art serve as a tool in mitigating the material impacts of climate change?

The gathering will take place in Long Island City, exact address will be distributed to those who register.
