Using Art to Protect Our Planet

Activists in the Bay Area have long felt incredibly lucky to have David Solnit creating the art that has brought life and energy to our actions for decades. Now we have the privilege of seeing him and another environmental artist, Emily Robinson, in an online discussion of Creative Activism: Using Art to Protect Our Planet.

• Emily Robinson, a Florida-based artist who turns plastic she pulls from the ocean into art pieces to raise awareness about plastic pollution (see her work on Instagram @plasticpresents)
• Our own David Solnit, as we know, centers art in mass mobilizations (see him in action on Instagram @davidsolnit)

In this month’s episode of Food & Water Watch’s Livable Future series, David and Emily will discuss how their art calls attention to the most pressing issues of our day and asks all of us to think creatively about what we can do to make a positive impact in the fight to protect the health of our planet
