Broto Offers ‘Greetings’ to Earthlings
Earthlings, unite! Broto: Art-Climate-Science has announced that its next conference, on the subject of “global citizenship and its implications for climate,” will once again be virtual with live-streaming interaction and will take place on Saturday, May 15th and Sunday, May 16th, 2021. The conference has been playfully titled “Greetings, Earthling.”
You can register now at broto-conference-earthling.heysummit.com. Registration and participation are free, but donations are appreciated. There are eight sessions scheduled with local and international speakers — educators, scientists, and artists — at 11 a.m. and 1, 3, and 5 p.m. each day. You can also watch sessions from Broto’s last conference, “Affinity,” held in December, and work from its art exhibit, “Symbiosis,” at broto.eco for free.
A new art show, “Agency,” reflecting the themes of global citizenship, will run virtually with the “Greetings, Earthling” conference, and it’s taking submissions through March 31st. Read the guidelines at broto.eco/open-call-for-art/.
Broto Launches Working Groups
Broto is hosting three working groups to have monthly discussions, via Zoom, on topics related to the intersection of art and science. The first, “Collaboration Blueprint,” began on January 13th, at 3 p.m. But there is still “Pro-Nature Culture,” starting Tuesday, January 19th, at 3 p.m., which aims to answer the question, “If behavior change is required in a climate-friendly society, how do we affect culture?” as well as “Bank of Nature,” starting Wednesday, January 20th, at 3 p.m., on the subject “How do we ensure Nature gets a fair deal through an ‘Interactive, not Extractive’ society?” Email [email protected] to join.
Broto Conference Shows Natural ‘Affinity’
Broto: Art-Climate-Science is holding a virtual conference, “Affinity,” on two Saturdays, December 5th and December 12th. The topic: exploring the nature-society partnership in the Anthropocene epoch. There are six virtual sessions over the two days: On December 5th, “Affinity: Between Art and Science,” “Bank of Nature,” and “Symbiosis: Art’s Knowledge of Nature”; on December 12th, “Interaction, Not Extraction,” “Business-Nature-Policy,” and “Denatured/Renatured.”
There is also an accompanying online art gallery, “Symbiosis,” featuring art by Renata Buziak, Anna Fine Foer, Juniper Harrower, and others. Registration for the conference is free at broto.eco.
