Event Details

Join us for our virtual Earth Day talk with Christina Conklin! In The Atlas of Disappearing Places, sustainability expert Marina Psaros and artist Christina Conklin blend place-based storytelling with clear explanations of science and policy to create a portrait of the impacts of climate change on communities, from global centers like New York and Shanghai to quieter corners like Bến Tre, Vietnam and the middle of the Arctic Ocean.

Created with an innovative ink-on-dried-seaweed technique, Christina’s maps illustrate the current and projected impacts of climate change. Each chapter closes with a speculative vignette painting a picture of what the world could look like in 2050; stark but hopeful, these vignettes share steps that can be taken to mitigate the impacts of climate change.
