Art, Design, and Climate Justice

This public dialogue brought together a dynamic group of artist-scholars from different international sites (Canada, New Zealand, UK) to reflect the intersection of art, design, and public space, and explore how artists can play key roles in imagining sustainable cities. It was the first event in the 2021 Design Justice Speaker Series, which explored how design can challenge social inequities, empower marginalized communities, and engage in worldbuilding that supports cultural and ecological survival.

The event was co-presented by York University's School of the Arts, Media, Performance & Design, Sensorium: Centre for Digital Arts & Technology, Institute for Research on Digital Literacies, CITY Institute, and Glendon Communications Programme.
