The Climate Justice Mural Project
In these times of multiple overlapping crises upending our ability to live our daily lives, art has a unique, critical, and powerful role to play. It can help us to bring forth our full humanity, even as we struggle with what is sometimes unthinkable. This is true of the triple crises we currently face: climate change, the COVID pandemic, and racial injustice. This spring and summer, we are creating an opportunity for members of the Olympia public to better come to terms with these crises using the power of art, and then using that new power, to determine steps we will take towards creating a world where each of us, our children, and our grandchildren can thrive.
