Space for Action Mission:
“Heal the soul, Heal the community, Heal the earth”
Space for Action is a call for all humans to convene, process, and make progress on the existential threat posed by climate change through curated collective experiences at the intersection of art, science, and culture. As a format, Space for Action aims to 1) address and de-stigmatize the feelings of isolation and powerlessness that accompany this threat, thereby making space in our hearts and minds for action, and 2) provide literal (and virtual) space for people to engage with one another, the issues, and their cultural implications to foster real innovation and to re-imagine our society post-climate change.

This event is presented in collaboration with the MIT Office of Sustainability, Arts at MIT, and MIT Music and Theater Arts.
On April 25th, 2020 at 7pm EDT, Space for Action: Rebuilding a Sustainable World will bring together leading musicians, scientists, politicians, and activists to share their craft in a collective experience, providing tools and inspiration for us to go forth and heal the relationship between ourselves, our communities, and the earth.
