Risky Beauty: Aesthetics And Climate Change
As the risks associated with climate change grow globally and locally, artists are exploring diverse methods to widen climate communication beyond the written word of scientists and journalists. The upcoming exhibition Risky Beauty: Aesthetics and Climate Change will showcase artwork in different media that draws in viewers with its sensual beauty, while stimulating awareness and changing perceptions. The exhibition will challenge viewers to consider how their aesthetic experience of nature might change in light of the scientific consensus about the validity of the climate crisis, the known societal forces that hasten environmental degradation, and the impact of climate change in their personal environments.
