Talking Climate: Identity

We inhabit a fossil fuel economy and culture. How has this central fact of our individual and collective existence shaped how we think about and experience identity? In this conversation, panelists will discuss questions about identity including the role of fossil fuel industry propaganda, and, conversely, activist commitments to climate justice; how hierarchies of race and gender structure our experience of identity in relation to climate; and more.

The panel, moderated by director Miranda Massie, includes Yessenia Funes, Climate Editor, Atmos Magazine; Sloan Leo, Artist and Founder, FLOX Studio; Jade Lozada, Policy Director, TREEage and Climate Speaks 2019 performer; and Amy Westervelt, Founder, Critical Frequency podcast network. With a reading by the celebrated poet Ada Limón.
