Climate Activism in Art: How Writers Can Inspire Change with Liam Rio (Hybrid)

How is hope manifested in nature? Is there hope remaining in the efforts to combat climate change? During this workshop, led by JBWC Youth Ambassador Liam, we’ll explore how other writers & artists have used their craft to address climate change, then begin writing our own pieces exploring our hopes, fears, and dreams regarding the uncertain future of the planet we share.

Participants of this workshop will be invited to dive deeper into these questions through Water in the Desert, a collaboration between the young writers of Just Buffalo and young performers/artists with Ujima Company that will end with a performance featuring your written creations, music, dance, and film!

This workshop is FREE, aimed at young students aged 12–18, and limited to 10 in-person participants with the option to join virtually.

• COVID SAFETY: We’ll be following social distancing protocol, taking temperatures, and providing masks and sanitizer as needed.
• ACCESSIBILITY NOTE: If you have any questions/issues accessing any of these opportunities, please let us know and we will work with you to make sure you can participate.
