PANEL DISCUSSION: Partnering the Arts & Sciences to Creatively Engage Climate Change with Communities

Join us for an exciting panel discussion!

How can we team up the arts and sciences to creatively engage climate change across disciplinary perspectives and with communities? 

The Center of Southwest Studies has partnered with the University of Colorado Boulder to present Coloradans and our Shared Environment in Times of Challenge and Change currently on view in the Center's galleries through February 7, 2025.  As part of this exhibition, the Center is excited to convene a panel of guest artists, scientists and humanists featured in the show to discuss the process of their interdisciplinary and collaborative work and why this approach is meaningful and important for addressing the issues we face collectively. 

Join us for an evening of discussion and ideas, and walk away inspired!
