Performative artform: A way to Climate change communication

Session ID#: 79116

Session Description:
This session will demonstrate how to communicate climate change information to the non-experts through performative artistic initiatives. Using performative methods to communicate complex information to audiences with heterogeneous levels of knowledge has proven to be effective. Through a series of case studies, we will explore how these methods have been applied and their impacts. Presenters will come from communications, science, and artistic backgrounds and we hope to gather a diverse audience to discuss methodologies and facilitate connections.
