April 21, 2008 Art for the Environment at the United Nations
"Art Changing Attitudes Toward the Environment" is a May 8, 2008, seminar at United Nations Headquarters in New York City, part of the U.N.'s Unlearning Intolerance series.
Focusing on climate change and "the intolerance of the needs of our earth and the attitudinal and behavioral changes that must be made in order to protect it," the seminar points to art as a catalyst "that can unite people in thought and action." Panelists -- seven visual artists and four environmental/social activists -- speak in two sessions: "Confronting Environmental Intolerance: Art, Action and Human Security" and "Art for Change: Vehicles for Environmental Action." The seminar accompanies an exhibit of the artist's works at U.N. Headquarters, May 9-31, part of the global Art for the Environment Initiative by the Natural World Museum and the U.N. Environment Programme.
