Reframing the Climate Crisis: Teach-in, Art-making, and Community Building

February 11, 2025, 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm

GEOG 229 (2nd floor of the Geography Building)

This workshop aims to bring people into the discussion about the systemic dimensions of the climate crisis, beyond individual responsibility. This event consists of a teach-in, which will be led by Professor Alec Blair, followed by an art-making session where participants are encouraged to reflect and express any emotional responses to what they learnt from the teach-in. We will offer prompts as well as materials for making art using different mediums, including painting, collage work, colouring, and zine-making. It is our hope that through this event, participants will form connections with each other and be inspired to participate in further climate action.

Organized by UBC Geography Climate Action Committee
