Hello everyone, happy to be a part of this community. I live in Puerto Rico and we were seriously devastated by Hurricanes Irma and Maria. One of my responses to this crisis we are encountering was to launch an activist initiative called Artists for Climate Change. I launched an OPEN CALL for works to be received by DECEMBER 31, 2017. As artists, we can use our imagination, creativity and craft to challenge the status quo and make the world a better place. This initiative wants to continue raising awareness on climate change issues and demand ethical action for our own good and future generations. I direct a space called Matadero Art in San Juan, Puerto Rico, that may be used for the exhibition, but I am speaking to local museums and cultural centers. We want to take this exhibition on tour, to the US and other countries. An important highlight of this exhibition is the book project under the title: "#NOTFAKENEWS: Climate Change is Real". To make this a success and maximize the impact, I need the help of committed artists like yourself that want to unite in one voice and be part of this initiative. Please share with fellow artists and friends throughout your networks so we can make a huge exhibition from artists worldwide, make a big fat color book and send a copy yo climate change skeptic, Mr. Trump, and a traveling exhibition. Thanks to all. For comments questions, ideas, shoot me a message here, on our facebook page or website. THANKS!!!
