The Ecotone with Gillian Dueñas - ‘Really Seeing’ a Climate-Just Future

Enlarge image

Climate change impacts, including sea-level rise, ocean acidification, coral bleaching, and extreme weather, are becoming increasingly severe, particularly for Indigenous populations who contribute the least to the rapidly changing climate but are disproportionately affected by it. These impacts, which threaten Indigenous livelihoods and cultures, are compounded by colonial forces such as militarization and the nuclear legacy. Pasifika artists wield their ancestral knowledges in the form of visual art to amplify their stories of climate change impacts and advocate for solutions that center demilitarization, Indigenous sovereignty, and traditional knowledge. This talk explores Pacific Islander climate action and art activism (artivism) at the global, regional, and local levels as practices of inagofli‘e, a Chamoru cultural concept of love and care that translates to “really seeing each other.” This Ecotone will be hosted at Moore Hall 319, from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM. Lunch will be provided, so please be sure to register for this event! We hope to see you there!
