Beaty Nocturnal: From Science to Action through Art

From Science to Action through Art: Four Artists Bear Witness to Climate Change.

Using poetry, essay, music, and painting, four Pacific Northwest artists present work that is powerful testimony to the consequences of climate change. These artists are uniquely positioned to connect the facts of climate change with the feelings that inspire people to take action. Their goal is to transform scientific understanding into words, music, and art that make these facts deeply real, visceral, and relatable. The evening will combine visual art and birdsong, choral music and poems inspired by birds, both living and extinct, and moving essays accompanied by music bearing witness for all species threatened by climate change. You will be transported to Svalbard, listen to the London Symphony, hear tales of loss and redemption, and be inspired to take action.
