Night School: Media Art & Climate Change

July 6, 2023

6 PM - 8 PM EST

Media Art and Climate Change: Amplifying Awareness and Inspiring Action

Explore the transformative potential of media art in addressing the urgent issue of climate change. Discover how media artists utilise visual expression, sound, immersive experiences, and storytelling to raise awareness, evoke emotions, and provoke critical thinking. We’ll delve into the role of media art in fostering a connection with nature, advocating for change, and galvanising communities towards a sustainable future. This Night School session will explore the intersection of art and environmental consciousness.

DARC’s Night School is a bi-monthly, free, lecture series designed to provide the basic fundamentals of media arts, theories, and current works of significance and interest. We want to demystify this constantly evolving form. This is a free event series for DARC members and members of the arts community at large. You are eligible to attend these lectures if you are: a DARC member, professional artist, creator, arts/cultural worker, looking to experiment in a new discipline, or an admirer or advocate for video and media arts. Attendance at every lecture is not necessary but recommended!
