Description

The Incubator is open to anyone who wants to engage or further their engagement with climate change through artistic practices. After a two year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Incubator is back! We can’t wait to (safely) gather again and reconnect around our shared desire to address the climate crisis through the arts. The Incubator is open to anyone – artists, activists, scientists, educators, and others – who want to engage or further their engagement with climate change through artistic practices. All disciplines are welcome and individuals from traditionally underrepresented communities are encouraged to attend. The Incubator is an inclusive environment that supports diverse perspectives. During this 5-day intensive, participants interact with accomplished guest speakers from fields such as environmental humanities, climate science, climate change activism, and visual and performing arts. Through discussions and creative exercises, we will exchange tips and best practices, as well as explore how to remain courageous in the face of inevitable losses; increase our collective resilience; and find joy in the work ahead. We will also search for the best tools to heal ourselves, our communities, and the planet. Limited to 20 participants. Availability is on a first come, first serve basis. Participants are responsible for their own travel and accommodation, and are required to be fully vaccinated. A few scholarships and half-scholarships are available. All sessions take place at the SeedLab, a 2-min walk from the Anchorage Museum. There are a number of hotels within walking distance and the location is accessible by bus. Because the summer is a busy tourist season, we recommend that you book your lodging early.
