Art and Action in the Age of Climate Change

Last year, MDC Live Arts launched the ECOCultura initiative, a series of performances for the planet. We launched this series because we recognize the vital role that art can play within the ever-mounting wave of climate consciousness in our city. As the global climate crisis continues to unfold all around us, art can help us recognize the urgent truths we once ignored or denied to our peril, pulling the wool from our eyes. You can’t miss Josh Fox in The Truth Has Changed.

But in the age of climate change, awareness is only half the battle and a poverty of the imagination perhaps our greatest enemy. To respond effectively to the demands of our time, we must also dare to dream of a different future to guide our actions today. It is here that art plays its most vital role as a catalyst for the powerful unleashing of our imagination, a force for the radical expansion of the historical horizon of possibilities, and a platform for the crafting of a new dream. A better future awaits, and artists can help us envision it.

Don’t believe us? Join us for the next installment of the series, the Miami premiere of The Truth Has Changed, a live solo performance for climate action by Emmy-winning and Oscar-nominated filmmaker Josh Fox, and experience the truth for yourself. Direct from New York’s Public Theatre to Downtown Miami. Fox’s riveting performance captures our world in crisis as only he could—from the very frontlines, and with no holds barred.
