BAI Artist in Residency Tanya Tagaq, multimedia performing artists speak at public panel ‘Climate Change: Our Response as Artivists’

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?”
