[ecrea] CfP: Visualizing Climate – Changing Future? | RAI Conference on Anthropology, Weather and Climate Change

We invite you to submit a contribution to our panel ‘Visualizing Climate 
– Changing Futures?’ at the RAI's
conference ‘Anthropology, Weather, and 
Climate Change’, Museum, London, 27-29 May 2016.

Our panel will 
explore: How do visual media shape understandings of climate change? 
What visual language or imagery are used by various communities to 
communicate and address climate change? By exploring how visual tools, 
participatory strategies, pictorial narratives or social media are used 
by news media, local communities or artists, this panel will examine how 
climate change is made culturally meaningful across a range of visual 
and cultural practises. Inviting multi-media format contributions, this 
practice based panel thus aims to establish a creative and collaborative 
dialogue between science, art, media and culture. In doing so, we will 
explore how visualizations help shape audience responses to climate 
change, and how these can be better deployed in the move towards 
sustainable climate-changed futures.

We very much like to encourage media based contributions and practice 
based formats of presentation.  If you are interested in participating 
in this panel, please submit an abstract through the RAI's web platform: 
http://www.nomadit.co.uk/rai/events/rai2016/panels.php5?PanelID=3809 
.
Please forward this ’Call for Participation’ widely and do get in 
touch with us for any questions and comments (Julie: 
(J.Doyle /at/ brighton.ac.uk) ; Susanne: (s.hammacher /at/ uebersee-museum.de) ).

The deadline for submissions is 8th January 2016.

Best wishes,

Susanne Hammacher, Übersee-Museum Bremen
