A New Beginning for Climate Arts in Miami
FUNDarte and Earth Learning in collaboration with MDCA present
Climakaze (cly-ma-kaw-zee) is a new container for a radical convening of climate-change-concerned artists, scientists, change-makers and other stakeholders from across the South Florida and the international spectrum. FUNDarte and Earth Learning in collaboration with MDCA present Climakaze Miami will host a three-day transformative dialogue and performance platform to plumb the depths of what artistic practice means and looks like in an unprecedented climatic reality. We will be digging deep into how arts practice can ignite an awakening around looming complex environmental and social issues, and explore platforms for creative action to address the urgent needs of the local and global climate movement.With live performance and nature excursions interwoven with facilitated dialogues designed to surface our collective intelligence, diverse participants will join to create a shared vision for change that benefits our local and global ecologies, reflects community needs, and places artistic practice on the frontlines of positive action in the face of urgent climate issues.
The dialogues will aim to generate year-round connectivity and action towards this shared purpose. So come expand your tribe and join us in our mission to explore the realities surrounding climate change in our own communities, jump start awareness and incite action!
CLIMAKAZE PROGRAM
Three days of conversations and shows? Are these people for real?
Yes!
We believe in the urgency and importance of this topic so much, that we want to dedicate enough time to weave community and deep communication around the ideas and perspectives of all participants, and really delve into what can move us to action. The event will be designed as a single process that builds from the start of Day 1 through the closing beach party on Day 3. We are therefore asking participants to give themselves the important luxury of participating in the full three days. So join us for an exciting journey of exploration, relationship building and lots of fun!
