Afterglow: Envisioning a Radically Different Climate Future

The stories we tell about the future have the power to shape the world we eventually create. From creative scientific solutions to climate change, to an economy built on ecological restoration, to the pursuit of right relationships in social systems and inclusive design, imagination has the power to shift what we see as possible. Inspired by cutting-edge literary movements, such as Afrofuturism, hopepunk, and solarpunk, Afterglow imagines intersectional worlds in which no one is left behind—where humanity prioritizes equitable climate solutions. Whether through adaptation, reform, or a new understanding of survival, Afterglow offers flickers of hope, even joy, and a springboard for exploring how fiction can help create a better reality. The SciFri Book Club from Science Friday and Looking Forward from Grist invite you to join us for a live event featuring New York Times bestselling author Morgan Jerkins (This Will Be My Undoing, Wandering In Strange Lands and Caul Baby), environmental health professor and researcher Dr. Yoshira Ornelas Van Horne, Grist’s Creative Manager for Climate Fiction Tory Stephens, and artist and social movement strategist Aisha Shillingford, exploring the role that creativity and imagination play in helping society envision and achieve a just, sustainable, and inclusive world for all people. The event will also feature live readings from OBIE Award-winning writer and actor Eric Lockley (playwright, Sweet Chariot, The Public Theatre).

Do you love listening to WNYC podcasts on your morning commute? Is Gothamist your favorite local news source? Do you cook to the classical sounds of WQXR?

We can't wait to see you soon! 🎉

sampling

In honor of the 50th anniversary of Hip-Hop, The Greene Space presents a large-scale public mural in collaboration with the Children's Museum of the Arts and the NYPL The New York Public Library. For this initiative, students of the local City-As-School were invited to utilize imagery from the NYPL Picture Collection. The collaborative series of murals entitled “sampling” explores visual and musical sampling –– a tradition shared by both Hip-Hop music and the visual art form of collage. Like sampling a track in a song, the students of City-As-School took pre-existing media and transformed it into their own collective artwork. The murals are on view in the windows on Varick Street and Charlton Street throughout August 2023. More information: https://bit.ly/3OPrx6S
