Climate Museum Senior Advisor Darian Dauchan led two very special programs in November. The Museum has been lucky to collaborate with Darian, an extraordinary artist, entertainer, and activist, on youth and public programs since 2019. As a workshop leader, Darian draws on techniques rooted in his deep background in theater, music, and writing. Many elements from those worlds, delivered with humor and high energy, were present at both this program and the one on November 15. You can find more about Darian's artistic work as an actor, writer, and musician at dariandauchan.com and brobotjohnson.com.

Thank you to everyone who joined the Museum’s first-ever climate speed-friending event to make some new climate-interested friends and enjoy a lively evening! Participants engaged in interactive community-building activities; took climate action; mingled; explored the Museum’s exhibition, THE END OF FOSSIL FUEL; tested their climate and culture trivia knowledge; won prizes; got inspired by Darian’s deejaying and good humor; and more! Free wine and beer was served.
