Public Studio: Radical Hope in a Time of Crisis

 This public studio on radical hope in a time of climate crisis features a conversation between experts Sarah Faulkner and Catherine Nash, facilitated by Lois Weaver and invites audience members to become part of the conversation.

The Public Studio uses the artist’s studio as a site for creative problem-solving, offering space for engagement with new ideas, unlikely collaborations, and experimentation with raw materials. The three stages include the observation of a three-way discussion between experts and a moderator, separate group conversation with one of the speakers, and finally an open workshop where both speakers and participants apply creative thinking to a complex problem, be it social, political, medical, environmental.

This event is part of Peopling the Palaces Earth Crisis and Climate Hope day - a day of performances, workshops, and talks exploring the climate crisis, our relationships with the non-human, and what it means to practise radical hope in the midst of catastrophic change.
