On the night before the inauguration of President Williams, RISD’s Liberal Arts division and the Nature Culture Sustainability Studies Master’s program will host a dynamic discussion around “new spaces” crossing art, social justice and community through Imagine 2200: Climate Fiction for Future Ancestors, an initiative by Fix, Grist’s solutions lab. Writers and visionaries in climate solutions come together to discuss decolonizing and diversifying climate storytelling as well as the role that climate fiction plays in creating climate solutions. Afterward, stick around to chat briefly with the panelists and also meet and chat with faculty and students from RISD's Liberal Arts departments and programs. A reception in the lobby immediately follows the event.
