Angles of Consequence seeks to hold those who impact the climate both positively and negatively accountable with performances with reflected sunlight. It uses approaches rooted in performance, activism, design, conceptual art, and open-source structures to support a creative tool for climate accountability. The Research Team of this SSHRC-funded project gathers to discuss their work and process thus far in anticipation of the season launch on May 1st. This session will be held in person at 4th Space but also available online.
