All are welcome to this free event series – students, staff, faculty, and community members. Bring friends and colleagues.
Facilitators will start each session by sharing some ideas and information about the day’s topic to set the stage, and then engage the group in an open discussion. We’ll have some discussion questions in mind to help guide the conversations, but we’ll let the conversations go where you and other participants want to take them.
The Caribbean is often associated with notions of “paradise” and treated as a vacation destination. The tourist industry has an outsize impact on environmental disasters, adversely affecting the day-to-day lives of local people who are frequently overlooked. Puerto Rico and its indeterminate relationship with the United States leave it particularly open to exploitation. In the face of these challenges, performance art, theater, and public art have provided creative responses. What is the role of artistic activism and the humanities in raising awareness and helping to heal communities confronting climate change crises?
