Visualizing Climate Change II: Migration and Movements

Join us for an evening of thought-provoking discussion where art meets science. This Science Cafe will delve into the urgent issues of climate change, with a focus on how artists and scientists are collaboratively responding to environmental challenges. Topics will include the vulnerability of coastlines, the symbolism of sea currents, the migration of plants, and reimagining humanity’s relationship with the future of our coasts. Refreshments will be provided.

Host:

Amy Kaczur, Visual Artist

Kaczur’s latest body of work, Messages from the Marsh, Parts 4–6, on view in the Project Space at Kingston Gallery, explores the fragile ecosystems of East Coast marshes that are increasingly threatened by climate change. Her work combines environmental themes with artistic expression to provoke deeper reflection on the challenges of our changing world.

Speakers:

Iwalani Kaluhiokalani, Visual Artist

Kaluhiokalani will present her interdisciplinary project, Mer Sea, which examines the sea as both a physical force and a metaphor for the internal currents that shape human experience. Mer Sea is on view in the Main Gallery at Kingston Gallery.

Margaret Hart, Visual Artist

Hart is an artist at Kingston Gallery and faculty member at UMass Boston, will introduce a new project that examines critical environmental issues, including plant migration, thigmomorphogenesis (the way plants respond to touch), and the parallels between invasive species and human migration.

Emma Gildesgame, Climate Adaptation Scientist, The Nature Conservancy in Massachusetts

Gildesgame will speak about reimagining our relationship with coastal landscapes and explore "managed retreat" as a strategy for adapting to rising sea levels and changing ecosystems.
