We'll kick off the summit with Committing to Climate Action as a Theatre Artist, a discussion with Fehinti Balogun (I May Destroy You), whose piece Can I Live? was the only theatre performance featured as part of the official line-up at COP26. You can read more about it in the New York Times.
We'll hear from Fehinti about his climate story, and how he came to dedicate himself to climate justice through his work and prominence as a UK-based theatre artist.

To our summit session From the United Nations to Theatre Nation: Connecting COP26 to Our Work Today we're welcoming back Xavier Cortada, climate artist-activist and professor of practice at the University of Miami Department of Art and Art History. You may remember Xavier from our 2019 National Conference in Miami, where he spoke and performed as our first-ever artist-in-residence at a TCG conference. Xavier performed several interventions and artistic activations at COP26, documenting everything, and will join UN Climate Attorney Ana Maria Kleymeyer for a conversation on what global climate work means for us as individuals and in our communities, and the roles that artists and cultural organizations must play in the climate movement.
