SUMMARY:Climate Hope Talk with Artist and Activist Monica Jahan Bose
DESCRIPTION:Join internationally acclaimed artist and climate activist 
 Monica Jahan Bose for multimedia storytelling and artmaking. \n\nMonica 
 will show videos\, images and share stories about climate impacts in 
 coastal Bangladesh and the resilience of these communities in the face of 
 losing crops\, land\, and intangible heritage. At the end of the talk\, 
 attendees will be invited to participate in a "call to action" climate 
 activity whereby they will write how they pledge to help mitigate global 
 warming on a sari presented by the artist.  Then\, as a final culmination 
 of an eight-week project with the Arlington Art Truck\, participate in a 
 short procession\, carrying the community-created saris together down the 
 street to Jennie Dean Park. \n\nClimate Hope is part of the project 
 Storytelling with Saris  by Monica Jahan Bose. "Storytelling with Saris" 
 connects people around the world through art with action steps to address 
 climate change in solidarity with women farmers from the artist’s
