SUMMARY:Arts & Ecology Festival: Creative Resistance
DESCRIPTION:On Earth Day\, UC Santa Cruz launches the inaugural Arts & Ecology Festival: Creative Resistance\, a campus-wide gathering that refuses to treat climate change as a problem of carbon alone. Instead\, it brings together artists\, scientists\, students\, and community partners to engage the deeper conditions of the crisis\, and to open space for cultural\, political\, and imaginative transformations grounded in repair\, reciprocity\, and collective futures. \nTaking place at the Digital Arts Research Center (DARC)\, the festival unfolds as a full day of exhibitions\, film screenings\, performances\, workshops\, talks\, and public engagement. Developed through an open call that drew an overwhelming response across disciplines\, the program reflects a growing field of practitioners working across environmental research\, land-based knowledge\, climate resistance\, and practices of repair that move beyond dominant institutional and economic frameworks. Tacos Los Reyes food truck will be on site during the festival. \nThe UC Santa Cruz Arts & Ecology Festival is sponsored by UCSC Art Department\, OpenLab Collaborative Research Center\, and UC Climate Action Arts Network\, with support from the University of California\, Office of the President’s Multicampus Research Programs and Initiatives grant program.\n—\nADMISSION\n– Free and open to the public\n—\nFULL SCHEDULE OF EVENTS\nEarth Day Festival\nWed.\, April 22\, 10:00 a.m.–10:00 p.m.\nvarious locations throughout the Digital Arts Research Center (DARC)\nEarth Week Film Screenings\nMon..
