Lecture Abstract:

The challenges climate change poses are far more severe and complex than anticipated. Without the luxury of time, there is an urgency in finding new ways to collaborate, experiment, plan and shift the paradigm of climate emergency engagement and disaster resilience. In this talk, Rae will share her unique approach to art and climate adaptation working with communities, artists, local government and emergency services in disaster preparedness rehearsals and labs where failure, risk, experimentation, and play become ‘learning together’ ingredients for navigating complexities and unknowns.
