Eco-Emotions: Art in Action

Join KWIC as we explore eco-emotions using art. Eco-emotions, defined as “distress, anxiety, trauma, grief, or depression in relation to environmental decline and anticipated climate change” and climate joy, is a pressing area to explore as we continue to work towards climate justice. Using prompts to inspire art creation, participants will join us art making (drawing, painting, sculpting, etc.) to explore their eco-emotions and move towards actions for the climate. We will also provide information on eco-emotions, global perspectives on climate change and the climate crisis and ways we can engage in change here locally in Peterborough.
