SUMMARY:Alaska Residency:  University of Alaska Fairbanks (cancelled)
DESCRIPTION:FIU SEAS and CARTA artist-in-residence Xavier Cortada will travel to Alaska to engage in research for his EVER/PERMA project addressing sea-level rise and global climate change concerns.  This is part of his science art practice conducted in partnership with FIU SEAS and FCE LTER faculty (and now with faculty in the  University of Alaska in Fairbanks). \nHere’s a blurb about the Ever/Perma research effort: \nEver/Perma is a new body of work being developed by Xavier Cortada.  In it\, he uses art to engage community members in addressing environmental degradation\, global climate change\, and sea level rise concerns. He does so chiefly through the development and implementation of participatory ecological art projects\, site-specific artistic interventions in Alaska and Florida\, and a programmed exhibit at the project’s conclusion. During the project\, Cortada will also convene community meetings\, work groups\, discussion panels and lectures to activate ideas.\nSpecifically\, “Ever/Perma” will address how global climate change is disrupting the ecosystems at both ends of our country:  sea level rise threatens the Everglades; warmer temperatures are thawing the Arctic permafrost.  Scientists tell us that as both of these ecosystems are degraded by human impacts they release methane (20x more potent than carbon dioxide) into the atmosphere and further disrupt our global climate. \nNow more than ever\, scientists and artists play a critical role: Scientists must continue to record how the climate responds to changing policies. Artists need to use art to effectuate change; to capture this moment. \n— \nBack to all 2017 Events
