#ClimateDisrupted: Tell Your Story
Over the past few months I’ve worked with another Philadelphia artist to curate/organize an event that brings together art, music, poetry, and storytelling to show how Philadelphians are affected by climate change in our city’s own language– ART.
This has been an energizing and inspiring experience-- not just because it has offered me the gifts that come with collaboration, it revitalizes me to see the interest and intrigue among artists and activists in Philly who care about climate disruption.
The original idea behind this event was the create visible evidence (OK sure, a photo-op) to show my senator’s office that we, Pennsylvanians, are concerned about the health effects, community struggles, and economic threats that come with a changing climate, and hopefully Senator Toomey won’t be able to look away (or at least we shouldn’t let him).
You are invited to join the story, join the movement (and yeah, the fun) on April 30 at Transport Cycles (rad bike shop in Fishtown) from 6-10pm.
There will be art, music, poetry, an info hub of local resources for action, ice cream from Little Baby’s (!) and a Story Wall for you to add your own piece. Check out www.phillyclimatestory.com for more, and join the event on Facebook to help spread the love.
