Learning Our Way Out of This Mess: Education and the Climate Crisis
Workshop with Tal Beery
Wednesday, February 26
4:15 p.m.
VCAM 201
Join artist and educator Tal Beery (Director, Eco Practicum; Founding Faculty, School of Apocalypse) for a workshop to envision new ways of teaching and learning to confront environmental crisis. Workshop participants will work together to distill a set of educational principles from their own personal experiences and use them to develop plans for new programs on campus that can mobilize the student body. We will also explore the many roles artists can play in instigating profound learning experiences for a wide variety of audiences.
Tal Beery is a New York-based artist and educator. He is co-founder of Eco Practicum, an artist-run school for ecological justice and founding faculty at School of Apocalypse, examining the connections between creative practice and notions of survival. Beery is also a core member of Occupy Museums, a collective fighting the economic and social injustices propagated by institutions of art and culture. His curatorial research considers the relationships between art and epochal change. Beery’s written work and interviews have appeared in numerous publications and his personal and collaborative works have been exhibited in museums and galleries in the US and Europe, including the 2012 Berlin Biennale, Brooklyn Museum, and the 2017 Whitney Biennial.
