Art·iv·ism: A portmanteau of the words “art” and “activism.” 

The term “artivism” originates with the Chicano movement in Los Angeles in the late 1960’s. We believe this word perfectly articulates the innate power of art to communicate, persuade, and engage in community dialogues. Today we are applying it to express our collective climate struggle.

Climate crisis is an urgent topic that is multi-faceted and complex. It can be difficult to digest, both emotionally and intellectually. Luckily, we have artists– some of the most equipt individuals in our society at connecting, communicating, and empowering others in taking actions. That’s why we select the theme of “Artivism.” We’d like to feature artists that are using their talents to encourage action or needed conversations in their communities.

We purposely kept the theme broad in our first exhibition with the hope of touching a diverse selection of climate topics as interpreted and expressed by artists with various media. We hope you will be inspired by their artistic forms of climate activism and motivated to take more meaningful climate actions in your daily lives.

On today’s show, I’m in conversation with Project Drawdown‘s Director of Storytelling and Engagement, Matt Scott on his latest project, Drawdown Neighborhood: Atlanta

Join us for a virtual panel discussion led by indigenous fire experts, homeowners who have been affected by fire, firefighting professionals, and policymakers to ask:

How can we negotiate our relationship with fire in California’s fire-dependent landscape?

California’s native peoples have long stewarded fire as a cultural tool to maintain a healthy balance within the land. When properly applied, fire can safely reduce fuel loads, cycle nutrients, and aid in the germination of seeds.

Modern development of California has disrupted these ancient practices, and many struggle to understand fire’s role in our ecosystems. This panel will explore the possibilities for negotiating our relationship to fire in the 21st century and beyond.

Keynote Speakers

Ali Meders-Knight, Mechoopda Tribal Member, basket weaver, and TEK Practitioner/Educator

Panelists 

Heidi Lucero, Chairwoman, CEO Juaneño Band of Mission Indians, Acjachemen Nation

Ticket sales will go directly toward honorarium payments for our indigenous panelists and keynote speakers, as well as technical operating costs. Thank you for your generosity.

We acknowledge we are on the unceded ancestral homelands of multiple Indigenous peoples of this place, also known as California, who are living, relevant cultures, and are both the original and ongoing caregivers of these lands. We also honor the non-human ancestors – the rocks, the flowing and impounded waterways, the plants, the animals, the wind, the soil – and the fire.
