Climate Imaginarium

Friday-Sunday

11AM-5PM

Colonels Row - Colonels Row - Building 406A

The Cli­mate Imag­i­nar­i­um is a new con­sor­tium of cli­mate orga­ni­za­tions debut­ing our cen­ter for the arts on Gov­er­nors Island. The Imag­i­nar­i­um serves as a com­mu­ni­ty cen­ter for cli­mate and cul­ture, with gal­leries and spaces for exhi­bi­tions, per­for­mances, film screen­ings, and events that respond to the cli­mate cri­sis with visions for hope and justice.

In 2024, the Imag­i­nar­i­um is launch­ing pro­gram­ming in four the­mat­ic areas: ⓵ a com­mu­ni­ty cen­ter for cli­mate artists and sto­ry­tellers to con­vene and col­lab­o­rate, ⓶ a pro­duc­tion stu­dio to incu­bate cli­mate sto­ries across a range of nar­ra­tive media, ⓷ a lab­o­ra­to­ry to inform research and edu­ca­tion for trans­lat­ing sto­ries into solu­tions, and ⓸ a col­lab­o­ra­tive space for learn­ing, per­for­mance, exhi­bi­tion, and engage­ment with the public.

The Imag­i­nar­i­um pro­motes cli­mate lit­er­a­cy and social con­nec­tion, while pre­sent­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties for cli­mate artists to ampli­fy their reach, vis­i­bil­i­ty, and impact. They are com­mit­ted to uplift­ing voic­es from all com­mu­ni­ties to reimag­ine regen­er­a­tive futures, while explor­ing the syn­er­gies between sci­ence and storytelling.
