Facilitated by Savanna Harvey

Growing out of her Creativity for the Climate workbook (commissioned by Youth Climate Lab), artist Savanna Harvey guides participants through the process of integrating arts and creativity into climate action. This 2-hour workshop introduces techniques from devised and collective creation performance practices that can be used to generate new images, stories, interventions, and messaging on environmental crisis. Explore an arts-driven approach to seeding curiosity-driven conversations that flower into change-making transformations. Suitable for participants of a variety of backgrounds and experience-levels, from communications professionals, artists, policy-makers, leaders and strategists, organizers, activists, community members, etc. A professional development opportunity aligned with the United Nations’s Sustainable Development Goal 13: Climate Action, the Feminist International Assistance Policy (FIAP) Action Area 4: Environment and Climate Action, and the value of intersectional environmentalism. 

August 19, 2021 from 7:00 PM – 9:00 Pm on Zoom. Limit 10 participants, register soon to secure your workshop seat.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Savanna is an artist and a gun-for-hire producer of the broke and beautiful. An organizer of secret midnight meetings, an instigator of resistance, and a recruiter of accomplices. As a creator-performer, she's toured Canada with her weird little shows about garbage puppets and science ghosts. She's a loner and co-conspirator. A killjoy feminist, a citizen scientist, and a ruthless proponent of kindness.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Savanna lives and creates in Treaty 6 and 7 territories in Amiskwaciywâskahikan-Edmonton and Mohkínstsis-Calgary. She is a colonizer and has benefited from the systemic racism and genocide of Canada’s indigenous peoples. She is committed to dismantling oppressive systems and fighting in solidarity with land and water protectors. Indigenous sovereignty and reconciliation should be the cornerstones of climate action because environmentalism without intersectionality is just white supremacy with trees. We are all treaty people.
