Climate Conversations Postcards Make-In
November 18, 2 - 5 PM at The National, 21 N 2nd Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106
RSVP: https://bit.ly/earth-sky-postcards

Start a climate conversation by making some postcard art! Let’s enjoy each other’s company, listen to each other’s thoughts about the climate, and make postcards that invite others to do the same. We can write to family, friends, neighbors, and strangers, and see how connecting to each other helps us think about things that may be hard to look at on our own.

This workshop is family friendly, and refreshments will be shared. It will be led by me and Michael Williamson in conjunction with our exhibition, Earth, Sky, Water.

This workshop is part of InLiquid’s 40th North Parallel Preservation Brigade (40PNPB), a year of public programming focused on climate change and community. 40PNPB’s mission is to use art and community to strengthen our personal and collective resilience and ability to take action in response to the climate emergency. The 40th Parallel North, which travels from InLiquid’s Northeast Philadelphia neighborhood all around the world, is a beautiful example of how the hyper-local becomes global.

Stay tuned for more events for climate justice!
