Alternate Assembly
Curatorial Forum Presents: Weathering Regional Landscapes

Panelists Katie A. Pfohl, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, New Orleans Museum of Art, Ryan N. Dennis, Chief Curator, and Artistic Director, Center for Art & Public Exchange, Mississippi Museum of Art, Regina Agu, Artist, Chicago, Cristina Molina, Artist and Associate Professor of New Media + Animation, Southeastern Louisiana University, Willie Wright, Assistant Professor of Geography, Rutgers University

On January 21, these five panelists met online to discuss several recent curatorial and artistic projects anchored in the Gulf Coast—home to some of the fastest disappearing landmasses in the world—this conversation considers how art can encourage new forms of environmental awareness, and invite new thinking about culture and community. How can art shed light on urgent local issues, while also looking beyond the region, nation, and country to show us the way that climate connects us all? How can art inspire us to think about the very idea of the environment differently, dissolving the boundaries between local and global, between center and periphery, to locate new sources of solidarity and strength?
