Writing Workshop: Why Is No One Else Panicking About The Climate?

Do you ever feel like no one around you is as wor­ried about the cli­mate cri­sis as you are?
​Like they’re just going on with their days and life like the data isn’t clear?
​Like every­thing is fine?
​Are you start­ing to feel a lit­tle gaslit?

Come explore these feel­ings and chan­nel them into words at the cre­ative writ­ing work­shop, ​“Why is no one else pan­ick­ing about the cli­mate?” with prompts that dive into dif­fer­ent aspects of what liv­ing in a cli­mate future means, espe­cial­ly when sur­round­ed by peo­ple who aren’t quite ready to face this yet.

The work­shop will be led by Annale­na La Porte, Ph.D., of the NYC Cli­mate Writ­ers Col­lec­tive, and will mix hypo­thet­i­cal sce­nar­ios as well as your per­son­al sto­ries. Shar­ing is, of course, option­al at all times, but we can’t wait to see what you write.

Cli­mate Imag­i­nar­i­um is one of the 2025 Gov­er­nors Island Arts Orga­ni­za­tions in Res­i­dence.
