From Science to Action through Art: 

Four Artists  Bear Witness to Climate Change 

Please Join Natalie Niblack, Holly Hughes, Kathleen Dean Moore, and Sarah Bassingthwaighte  

on October 16th from 6:00 to 7:30  for a special presentation at the Beaty Biodiversity Museum. 

Using poetry, essay, music, and painting, four Pacific Northwest artists present work that bears powerful witness to the consequences of climate change.  These artists are uniquely positioned to connect the facts of climate change with the feelings that inspire people to take action.  Their goal is to transform scientific understanding into words, music, and art that make these facts deeply real, visceral and relatable. The evening will combine visual art and birdsong, choral music and poems inspired by birds, both living and extinct, and moving essays accompanied by music bearing witness for all species threatened by climate change. You will be transported to Svalbard, listen to the London Symphony, hear tales of loss and redemption, and be inspired to take action.
