Hot on Stage:Climate Justice and the Future of Theater

2025 marks an exciting year to explore human connectivity, the worlds that we build, and the stories we tell.  As part of an ongoing collaboration, ArtsEmerson and the Museum of Science will co-present a panel on the intersection of climate justice, narratve, and our collective future.

In the age of warming seas and fires that destroy entire ecosystems, we want to explore how the arts are crucial to our building a more just world. How can we move away from stories of world-ending and cautionary tales, to stories that imagine the more just world we want to live in? How do we engage with climate justice in our storytelling spaces – in artistic content, designed impact and in powering our buildings themselves?  What are the themes the next generation will explore if the situation continues, or changes?

The Point, ArtsEmerson’s conversation series, comes to the Museum of Science as part of the Year of Being Human and a year-long partnership between the two cultural institutions for an evening of community and artistic convening.
