Risky Beauty:
Aesthetics And Climate Change
Featuring artwork by Amie Potsic, Diane Burko, Deirdre Murphy, Hiro Sakaguchi, Tim Portlock, Maureen Drdak, and Chantal Westby
As the risks associated with climate change grow globally and locally, artists are exploring diverse methods to widen climate communications beyond the written word of scientists and journalists. Risky Beauty: Aesthetics and Climate Change, curated by Dr. Cynthia Haveson Veloric, will showcase artwork in different media that draws in viewers with its sensual beauty, while stimulating awareness and changing perceptions. The exhibition will challenge viewers to consider how their aesthetic experience of nature might change in light of the scientific consensus about the validity of the climate crisis, the known societal forces that hasten environmental degradation, and the impact of climate change in their personal environments.
This exhibit is being held in conjunction with the 2024 Society of Environmental Journalists Annual Conference (April 3-7), hosted by the Annenberg Public Policy Center and held at Annenberg.

Educating doctoral students and undergraduates in the interdisciplinary field of Communication in order to better understand the role of media in public and private life. The Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania combines the intimacy of small, highly-selective graduate and undergraduate programs with the dynamism, resources, and personnel of a major research institute. Embedded within one of the world’s top research universities and world-class cities, Annenberg students can follow their research interests at virtually any academic intersection they choose. The influence of digital networks on large-scale group activities, the impact of health-related messages and media content on healthcare decisions, and the aspects of interconnected social, economic, and technological systems on everyday life are just a few of the multi-layered and interconnected fields of research found among Annenberg’s faculty, researchers, and students.
