ARTPORT_making waves explores artists’ responses to climate change and its causes, effects, and solutions. How do artists reflect on the drastic ecological shifts that cause an increasing number of natural disasters and extreme weather with unprecedented destructive power, such as hurricanes, droughts, and floods? How can artists make a difference? How can they create awareness among the general public and influence the political will to adapt public policy and education? What are the different approaches worldwide and how can we create synergies to effect change?
ARTPORT_making waves is a fiscally sponsored project of the New York Foundation for the Arts, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.
