People Matter Here: Community-Led Climate Resilience in the Gulf Coast Region
Join us on October 23 from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM for a presentation and conversation about design as climate action. New Orleans-based Landscape Architects SMM, Photographer Giancarlo D’Agostaro, and their community partners from Mississippi Rising Coalition and Oseola McCarty Youth Development Center (Hattiesburg, MS) will share their firsthand experiences in developing and implementing community-led climate resilience projects. Gain insight into partnerships. Learn how local knowledge and storytelling is being used to drive change. See how ideas are turning into implementable projects.
This event is part of the What Matter's Here .?! exhibit programming, which aims to create connections among local artists and designers working to understand and reimagine the Gulf Coast’s relationship with its industrial past and ecological future.
Supported by the National Academies of Science Engineering and Medicine's Gulf Research Program, the exhibit brings together the work of artists Paris Cyan Cian, Giancarlo D’Agostaro with Spackman Mossop Michaels, and Virginia Hanusik, alongside the work of Tulane School of Architecture students and faculty, and contributions from community partners.
