Join us for a lively discussion and presentation on the positive impact of the arts on the Climate Change movement and how creativity and storytelling can create change. As part of the 24 Hours of Reality, an international day of Climate presentations offered by Al Gore’s Climate Reality Project, Hot Bed will host an artist panel discussion and climate presentations with scientific experts in the midst of Girl in the Garden: Danger In Paradise, a solo exhibition by Amie Potsic which focuses on climate change and gender roles through the lens of deforestation and wildfires.
