Just as the impacts of climate change vary geographically, so do our conversations and the language we choose to use around climate disasters. This event encourages us to consider how we discuss land, water, nonhuman life, colonialism, the changes impacting each of us, and how language is expressed through our position and location.

Facilitated through the screening of the short film, Weather Isn’t Small Talk, by Planet Texas 2050 Artist-in-Residence mónica teresa ortiz, our panelists’ conversation will engage issues of landscape, language, borders, and film.

You can RSVP here.
