Joan Simalchik researches the impact of climate change on women. People worldwide are displaced due to climate change, and 50 million could be in the next decade. Environmental catastrophe and gender are not recognized as a reason for refugee protection by the United Nations. How are women taking up this challenge? What preparations, including Canadian ones, are being made?
b.h. Yael will screen Trading the Future, a video essay questioning the politics of the idea of an environmental apocalypse, the symbolism of death and the growth of the market place. She proposes alternatives in the idea of natality, the productivity of biodiversity and the agency of everyday activism
