Xavier Cortada’s art serves as a bridge between science and community, transforming public spaces into platforms for climate storytelling and experiential learning. His interdisciplinary practice demonstrates how socially engaged art can cultivate a broad base of people who champion environmental justice and help build the political will necessary for systemic change. Cortada will discuss his innovative approach to stimulating public discourse and ultimately galvanizing action around sea level rise.

The program will include an art-making project, The Underwater, for all attendees.
