This is an online COP26 Coalition event involving a performance and collaborative art practice.

This event will unfold in four phases. First, literary and media artists, including Madeline Bassnett, Jennifer Calkins (from WELC), Teresa Carmody, Anne de Marcken, Molly Fitzjarrald, and Summer Hart, will weave together words, sounds, video, and images to draw and hold participants in a space reflecting our climate and our relationships to the other than human.

Then, participants will engage in a somatic practice with Anastasia Maier to regulate our nervous systems toward the third phase of the event--a collaborative, embodied, communal creation led by Lou Florez drawing from the evocations of the performance toward protection, connection, and energy. Finally, participants and presenters will take time for sharing and conversation.

I hope you can join us!
