Art at the BlueLine: A Conversation on Climate and Social Resilience with Artists
Channel: Waterfront Alliance
Date: 2021-09-22

On Wednesday, September 22, the Waterfront Alliance hosted this live, interactive discussion during Climate Week NYC where attendees engaged with the artists behind Art at the BlueLine 2021, an exhibit held at as part of this year’s City of Water Day.

The panel discussed how art can help engage the personal values and emotions that are so crucial to motivate action. The discussion included a short briefing on the latest IPCC report by Dr. Jacky Austermann, an earth scientist from Columbia University, followed by short presentations from each of the artists, and an audience Q&A session.

Participating artists include Nathan Kensinger and Nate Dorr, filmmakers and co-creators of “Shoreline Change”; Lynn Neuman, director of Artichoke Dance Company; and Tideland Institute. The event was moderated by 2020 Art at the BlueLine climate artist and co-founder of Works on Water, Sarah Cameron Sunde.
