Art and Survival Festival

Double Edge Theatre (DE) and Jupiter Performance Studio (JPS) amplify the movement for climate justice with the Art and Survival Performance Festival, a gathering for artists, organizers, educators, and land stewards. The Festival will take place September 8-11 and is DE in collaboration with JPS. Art and Survival is co-curated by Ebony Noelle Golden and Stacy Klein. The Festival will engage some of the most important issues related to climate change in rural areas and the southern United States and seeks to be a moment for invited participants to imagine strategies for resilience and repair. 

Art and Survival expands DE and JPS’ long-standing partnership and centers on climate resilience, community-building, and nature-based performance work. The vision for this Festival is to create pathways and opportunities for addressing environmental justice and climate reparations through the lens of joy and hope.

Additionally, the Festival features a walk with Little Amal, the internationally celebrated 12-foot-tall puppet of a 10-year-old Syrian girl. Amal’s walk will shed light on the refugee rights and the environmental impact of displacement on children.

The Art and Survival Performance Festival is supported in part by the Trust for Mutual Understanding.
