Climate Wayfinding with Katharine Wilkinson: Healing Ourselves and the Plan

Join us for an evening of poetry, film, art, and song with Dr. Katharine Wilkinson
About this Event

When maps come up short and the path ahead is uncertain, how do we find our way? In her new book , Dr. Katharine Wilkinson offers a compassionate and empowering guide for navigating through ache to action, doubt to possibility. We may be steeped in climate or newly curious. Either way, we can look inward with care, outward with curiosity, and forward with courage to shape our unique contributions.

Join us for a dynamic multimedia experience with Dr. Wilkinson. We will immerse ourselves in the wisdom of Climate Wayfinding and the beauty of poetry, film, art, and song. Amid kindred community, we will remember that each of us is a node of possibility for healing the climate crisis — whoever we are and whatever we’ve got to give.

Schedule

Doors open at 6:00 pm.
Participants will have the opportunity to visit the exhibition, about the power we have to work together for a better future, and to visit with artists and local climate leaders to spark conversation and inspire climate journeys. The Bell’s Curiosity Shop will be open, and the University of Minnesota Bookstore will be on hand to sell books.
The program begins at 7:00 pm, and will be followed by a book signing with Dr. Wilkinson, participatory artmaking in a postcard activity, and time to connect with fellow climate-concerned neighbors.
