May 28, noon! - Degrowth Gallery Opening Luncheon
Through art! we can imagine other worlds. Through art! we reveal new insights about what it means to live well now and into the future. This exhibition explores the intersections of art and degrowth, and asks: What is the role of art in degrowth transformations? How do we navigate the contradictions present in our own lives through art? What are the ways that we can blend art, activism and academics? Please join us for the gallery openeing luncheon, friday at noon for a lively discussion with the artist panel. Then - visit the Degrowth info Booth any time during CANSEE 2021 to view the gallery at your own leisure
Hope you have a snaily day,
