Climate change and its effects can feel overwhelming, intangible, and disempowering. Through activation, object or gesture, artists have the power to access a personal entry point and deepen individual understanding of issues that impact us the most: the air we breathe, the water we drink, the ecological systems by which we live.
In May, artists Rebecca Bruno, Nova Jiang, and Debra Scacco began a six-month residency at Los Angeles Clean Teach Incubator (LACI) located in the Arts District. The residency supports artists’ research on climate change, sustainability, and related themes. Archaeology of the present unites the three resident artists in dialogue with Megan Steinman, cultural producer and director of the Underground Museum, at the mid-point of their time at LACI. They will reflect on how artists can distill global issues for new work and impact.
