Street Works in the News: Taking Climate Week Out of Conference Rooms and Into the Street, by Monique Aiken, Anjali Deshmukh, and Ernest Verrett

“Street Works Earth builds upon MJN’s organizing principles for justice, then adds their own design principles for artistic collaboration. Participating artists in the festival have been connected with climate experts, including team members of Environmental Defense Fund and Queens Climate Project, to intentionally foster dialogue among experts in disciplines that don’t often interact, such as climate and culture. Street Works hypothesis: this intentional cross-fertilization will create alchemy, inspiring sustained changemaking and activism.”
