The Role of the Arts in Climate Adaptation and Migration
11:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. ET
June 12, 2024

Hosted by Maida Owens, Director of the Louisiana Division of the Arts Folklife Program.

Increasing population shifts are predicted in the future resulting in communities throughout the United States receiving newcomers. This presentation provides an introduction to climate adaptation and migration in addition to strategies and resources to help prepare communities to welcome newcomers, whether they are climate migrants, refugees, or immigrants. Since both environmental and cultural changes disproportionately impact marginalized communities, planning should not be color-blind to help not replicate past injustices. Discussions include roles, players and issues in your location, assessing your situation, and taking action. 

This session will be recorded and made available on southarts.org afterwards.
