The ecological and cultural implications of climate change will serve as a basis for the examination and creation of socially engaged art. Part seminar and part experimental field lab, this course will engage a number of guest speakers from various disciplines. A broad array of perspectives on climate change will serve as a springboard for discussion. Students will fashion a meaningful response to what they have learned about the issue of climate change in a way that grows out of and expands their individual art practice. The course will culminate in an exhibition of the student works and/or documentation of those works in spring, 2010.
