You would like a new perspective on the environmental strike? It’s your lucky day! ENvironnement JEUnesse and Dazibao are organizing a projection followed by a discussion on the themes of environment and youth engagement. This activity is free and open to all! Breakfast is also offered!
Presented are video works by Mikhail Karikis in which the artist collaborates with young people to denounce the urgency of the climate situation and the power of uniting our voices.
