DESCRIPTION:EARTHDAY‍.ORG invites you to join another installment of our Earth Day 
 Live series, "Changing the Culture through Culture: Artists Shifting 
 Perspectives on Climate Change". \n\nWhen: Thursday, December 17th at 9 AM 
 PT (noon ET)\n\nRSVP for Zoom here: 
 https://www.earthday.org/earth-day-live-changing-the-culture-with-culture/\n\nFB 
 livestream here: https://www.facebook.com/EarthDayNetwork/\n\nTo address 
 climate change, we need to change culture. Art will play a significant 
 role. Art’s influence is subjective and emotional, a complement to the 
 objectivity of science. Art is a powerful tool that affirms cultural 
 beliefs, values, and our understanding of humanity’s relationships in 
 societies and the natural world. \n\nBut artists also create work that 
 presents new ideas to challenge the status quo. In the community art 
 creates, society shares these different — sometimes profoundly different 
 — \nways of looking at the world. \n\nWhile climate science transmits the 
 facts about the environment, art helps us to make sense of what is 
 happening subjectively and personally. This webinar examines artists whose 
 work intersects with science — a powerful combination that can change the 
 way we think and feel.\n\nJoin us for this discussion with artists who 
 engage imaginations with their inspiring art and their dedication to the 
 issues that are profoundly affecting us and our planet — engaging us, 
 shifting perspectives and helping to build a consensus for change.\n\nThe 
 panel will be 60 minutes and hosted over Zoom. By registering and joining 
 the webinar, you’ll be able to ask questions during the Q&A. If you 
 can’t connect over Zoom, we’ll also be streaming the event over 
 Facebook.\n\nOur panelists include:\n\n--Courtney Mattison — a sculptor 
 whose work revolves around the oceans and coral reefs\n\n--Paul Villinski 
 — a sculptor and installation artist focused on metamorphosis and 
 flight\n\n--Mary Mattingly — an installation and performative artist 
 concerned with sustainability\n\n--Nora Lawrence — Senior Curator at the 
 Storm King Art 
 Center\n_____________________________________________________________\n\nABOUT:
