Collective Rage for Collective Liberation: Indya Moore, Amanda Seales, and Céline Semaan—Sold Out

Saturday, April 20, 2024

2–4 pm

Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Auditorium, 3rd Floor, and Iris Cantor Plaza

 

This program is sold out. In honor of Earth Day, join Indya Moore, Amanda Seales, and Céline Semaan for a conversation that will expand on the concept of climate rage—a cousin of climate grief, or the experience of anxiety and mourning over ecological loss. Together, they discuss how anger can be alchemized into action within the climate justice movement, as well as intertwining struggles for liberation. The conversation begins with a performance by musician Mona Miari and a breathing exercise led by Jenn Tardif, meditation teacher and founder of 3rd Ritual. 

Moore is an actor, writer, and activist, whose recent work includes raising mutual aid for marginalized communities during the Covid-19 pandemic, founding Trans Santa, and participating in Jane Fonda’s “Fire Drill Fridays.” Seales is a comedian, actor, and producer who takes on serious topics, such as racism, rape culture, and police brutality through “edu-tainment” media. Semaan is cofounder and CEO of Slow Factory, a nonprofit working at the intersection of climate justice and human rights, using media justice, the arts, regenerative system design, and science and technology to address and redesign systems of oppression. 

Afterward, head to the Plaza for a teach-in and distribution of free plants with Herban Cura, a collective that shares knowledge of plants and herbal remedies to build community resilience as part of its Plants to the People campaign.

Free; registration is required. Seating is first come, first served.
