Week 5: Simone Johnson

Rising sea levels and living in a city originally made me think of the legend of Atlantis. I wondered about the place millions call home going underwater at some point in the future.

One of the reasons Atlantis is interesting is because it has been described as a technologically advanced society. I want to play around with this concept

What if 'technologically advanced' in New York City meant being in right relationship with water? Or intentional conversations, collaboration and experimentation between different kinds of artists and other creatives like educators, healers, librarians, urban planners, architects, activists, farmers and fisher folk, engineers and legislators? 

What if bioartists were involved in conversations about NYC's climate emergency plans, like the Climate Mobilization Act?
