Creating Climate Resilience Fall Art Workshops Series

Are you a young person (18 – 30) concerned about climate change? Are you seeking a community in which to express these thoughts and feelings?

Join Creating Climate Resilience for a Tuesday evening workshop series utilizing artmaking and dialogue to explore your thoughts and feelings about climate change in a supportive space. Creating Climate Resilience is a community initiative aiming to cultivate people’s emotional resilience to climate impacts through relationship building, knowledge mobilization and art workshops. Over this series of three art workshops we will explore such themes as how climate change feels in our bodies, how we can respond to ecological grief and climate anxiety, and our visions for what a climate resilient future could look like. This is a safe space to create ‘bad art’ to process your climate emotions. No prior artmaking experience or expertise about climate change is required. Snacks and supplies provided!

Dates: November 18th, 25th and December 2nd

Time: 6pm – 8pm

Location: Print Hole, 712 Cormorant Street, Victoria B.C.
