Ep 99: New York Underwater: Art and Climate Change - with guest Carolyn Hall

What would it be like if New York City was partially underwater? What would it feel like, what would it taste like? How would the economy continue to tick, how would commuters reach their jobs? To answer this, our guest today uses art to tell the narrative of climate change.
We aren’t all numbers people. Therefore, using art to tell the story of climate change can make the effects of climate change real to a population that may not be fully engaged with the science or the trends. Further, it can make how our world is changing more real, more relatable, more understandable, and hopefully, give us the inspiration to change.
Today’s guest is Carolyn Hall. She uses art, narrative, and the imagination to take people on tours through time to see how our world is constantly changing, what seeds this change, and what we can do about it. Carolyn is a historical marine ecologist, a contemporary dancer, and a science communicator. She does each independently but most enjoys, and is most challenged by, finding ways to combine all three. And today, she talks about three artistic endeavors seeking to unite art and climate change – Sunk Shore, Walks on Water, and Walking the Edge.
You can follow Carolyn on Instagram @gatablanco. Also be sure to check out her “time traveling videos” to the years 2068 and 2092 where she presents an artistic view of the future of New York City.
