Hey y’all! I’m Teresa Juarez Moran, and we’re back at it again with our first Virtual Teen Night: Whispers de la Tierra on Friday, May 15, from 5–7:30 pm.Thousands of years ago, the people crafted artifacts emphasizing the importance of preserving the natural world and what it offered. Based on Jeffrey Gibson: When Fire is Applied to a Stone It Cracks and Climate in Crisis: Environmental Change in the Indigenous Americas, we aim to uplift immigrant and Indigenous rights, and highlight the perspective of Native communities whose lives have been threatened by environmental destruction. By allowing these injustices to be voiced, we encourage youth to join us in the stride for climate justice!The night will showcase a panel discussion, Navigating the Layers of Climate Justice, starring activists Thanu Yakupitiyage, Xiye Bastida, and Helena Gualinga. Expect our very own Museum Apprentices dropping knowledge on the exhibitions with their famous Pop-Up Talks. Check out featured artist-makers to view their creations. Enjoy some poetry by Dena Igusti and Sonali Sharma. And, of course, it wouldn’t be Teen Night without the music: welcome musicians like STEFA*, Ernest Brockenberry, Xiuhtexcatl, Renata Flores, and our very own DJ InO!That’s your invitation to join the party. Catch you there!This program is free and open to all teens globally. Check out our full schedule here.Whispers de la Tierra is organized by the Teen Night Planning Committee, our paid teen internship in public programming.Posted by Teresa Juarez MoranMusic: Clean by Ernest Brockenberry -- source link
