4 PM — The Overview Effect
Must we leave Earth to understand how deeply intertwined our fates really are? Bringing together designers and the exhibition’s curator, this conversation explores how art, design, and craft can shift our perspective—inviting us to look again at our planet, our relationships to one another and the more-than-human world, and our place within it.
