Open Discussion: Dealing with Extreme Heat
Stop by for an open, informal discussion on dealing with extreme heat, including an introduction by Queens Climate Project and Nitin Mukul. We'll have a simple circle of chairs and welcome you to take a seat, share your thoughts, and/or listen in.

Heat Maps: Jackson Heights, by Nitin Mukul
Collaborate with Nitin in creating an improvisational artwork made by layering paint in sheets of ice, freezing each layer so it accumulates color and texture, and then watching it melt according to natural weather conditions while it’s filmed. As you're making a new one, you can watch an existing one melt in the open Jackson Heights air.

Join MJN members, Ernest and Anjali, in the locally loved craft of community beading. As local stewards of this wearable art, we're excited to reflect with participants on the story of climate change, by co-creating a glittering bead curtain mapping global temperatures. (Photo by Cindy Trinh.)
