PMRCAA is hosting a lecture, short- film screening and exhibition on June 20th featuring Indigenous artists from Louisiana and Alaska talking about communities in the two states facing displacement due to climate change.

Both the communities of Isle de Jean Charles and Shishmaref face displacement due to the impacts of climate change and rising sea levels. Chantel Comardelle and Dennis Davis will present stories, photographs and a film illustrating the contrasts between cultural beauty and the impacts of the climate crisis in their communities.
This event will be moderated by OSU professor Dr Elizabeth Marino.

Doors will open at 5.30pm so people have time to see the exhibition prior to the lecture and the screening.

This event is free and open to the public. Space is limited so registration is required.
