Join Yale Law School’s Environmental Protection Clinic for a lecture and interactive performance by eco-artist Xavier Cortada in the Dwight Hall Chapel and Common Room.
Xavier Cortada is a Cuban-American artist whose work intends to generate awareness and action around climate change, sea level rise and biodiversity loss. Based in Miami, he has created art at the North and South poles and across six continents, including more than 150 public artworks, installations, collaborative murals and socially engaged projects.
Xavier will first give a presentation about his socially engaged art practice in Art in Action: Fostering Climate Advocacy and Community Mobilization Through Creativity with a focus on The Underwater art project. The presentation will be followed with a hands-on activity where participants create their own Underwater Yard Signs. Then, Xavier will lead us through a performance of his “Longitudinal Installation” where we will all participate in a ritualistic performance.

This event will be recorded and is open to the entire Yale community and the public.
