On Tuesday, Brown Arts Institute and Providence nonprofit FirstWorks co-hosted a panel titled “Climate Change: Our Response as Artivists.” The public event — hosted in the Martinos Auditorium at the Granoff Center for the Creative Arts — marked the first event of Canadian Inuk multidisciplinary artist Tanya Tagaq’s collaborative artist residency at Brown.
The event is the latest in BAI’s IGNITE series program, which imagines art as a tool for social change.
Tagaq was joined on stage by members of music, film, and performing arts group Small Island Big Song, Greenlandic drum dancer Varna GL, and Inuk throat singer Nancy Makittuq Mike. The group discussed climate change and artist-activists’ responsibilities to help preserve the environment. The group addressed a central question: “What will we tell our children if we fail to protect our planet?”
The panel delved into the urgent issue of climate change and how it impacts our planet. Artists shared their perspectives on the current environmental crisis and the role of art in raising awareness.
The artists emphasized the importance of taking action as artist-activists to address climate change. They discussed the power of art in inspiring change and promoting sustainability.
The panelists highlighted the need to protect our planet for future generations. They explored creative ways in which art can contribute to environmental conservation efforts.
