Listen "S6E11: The Climate Movement Needs Artists and Storytellers | with Climate Illustrated"

Episode Synopsis

Art is a powerful tool to call people into the climate movement.
Science has shown that our brains are wired to respond to stories. When we hear a story, we naturally engage with the characters, and imagine ourselves in their shoes. This creates an emotional connection to the story and the issue it represents.
Marte Skaara, a co-founder of Climate Illustrated, couples climate stories with artwork depicting bright beautiful futures. In this episode, we discuss the impact that Climate Illustrated's work has had, why art and stories transcend facts/statistics in climate communication, and how to find your climate story.
Season 6 takes the creative liberty to explore topics our podcasters are passionate about. From individuals to communities impacting the climate landscape, take a listen to the episodes that speak to you!
