Science the Earth collaborated with the American Association for the Advancement of Science's (AAAS) STEAM Team affinity group to compile Drought & Flood: An Artistic Contemplation: a virtual concert that uses performance art to highlight the way that water ebbs and flows through space and time, and the way that those ebbs and flows impact communities. In partnering with a diverse group of artists through the combination of drama, dance, music, and educational story-telling, Drought and Flood conveys the impacts and challenges of managing water in an ever-evolving world.
The work of seven artists from around the world are showcased in this concert. The context behind each piece tells a unique story that is linked to the other stories via the underlying theme of how drought and/or flood impact communities. Sprinkled throughout the concert are personal stories of individuals and communities affected by drought and flood, shared generously by StoryCenter and We Are Water archives. Included are also research stories from AAAS Science and Technology Policy Fellows focused on water issues. The artists include: Climate Focus North America and Sinfonía Trópico, Company E, Benny Starr, Samantha Marshall, Fiona Leckey, Reshmina William, and Emma G. Find out more on the concert's official website.
