Students, faculty, staff, and community members to hold art exhibition at the Oxford Community Arts Center
We cordially invite you to Changing Climate, Changing Communities: Local Reflections of a Global Issue, an art exhibition that will open at the Oxford Community Arts Center (10 S College Ave) Second Friday Celebration of Arts on March 8th, from 6 - 9 p.m. The exhibition will run from March 8 to April 5th, 2024.
In Changing Climate, Changing Communities: Local Reflections of a Global Issue, local artists reflect on and communicate their understanding, perception, and interpretation of climate change and its impacts on their own lives and their communities. This exhibit is part of Miami University’s 2023-2024 Focus theme on Environmental Justice and will include artwork from Miami University students and faculty, and community members. It will also feature university and community organizations that are working on climate change, including the Hefner Museum of Natural History, the Willard Turrell Herbarium, Thread Up Oxford, the League of Women Voters of Oxford, and others. We hope the exhibition will engage our community here in Oxford in conversations on climate change as a local issue with real implications for each of us rather than just a global one with impacts elsewhere.
Changing Climate, Changing Communities is part of an interdisciplinary collaborative effort by Miami University faculty from Project Dragonfly (Biology Department) and the Department of Art, as well as community partners and the Oxford Community Arts Center. The overarching goal of our collaboration is to engage in community-oriented research and dialogue on climate change from diverse perspectives. For more details, please visit the website online.
