Wildfires, floods, extreme temperatures, droughts, water scarcity: the climate crisis we face today challenges us to rethink the model of progress that has shaped our society. On December 7th, the Ipiranga Museum will host the event...\u00a0Climate Emergency in Focus: Reflections Between Science and Art<\/b>, an offshoot of the exhibition\u00a0Where there's smoke: art and the climate emergency<\/i>.<\/p>\n
The meeting brings together five women artists, researchers, and activists to discuss the climate emergency from historical, cultural, and scientific perspectives. Ana Roman, Gabriela Moulin, Jahzara On\u00e1, Jer\u00e1 Guarani, and Vanessa Soares will participate in a roundtable discussion, reflecting on the possibilities of collective action to face the challenges of the present and build pathways to a more sustainable future. After the discussion, the public will be invited to visit the exhibition.<\/p>\n
