Disrupting Climate Disruption: A Day of Creative Action

Sea Level 2080 is a simple and powerful, open-source art project that I installed with musician Liam Fien on Punau'u Black Sands Beach on the Big Island of Hawaii. Sea Level 2080 is the brainchild of artist and sculptor Adam Kuby and installed by 26 other artists, activists, and students worldwide to coincide with the UN Climate Summit on September 21st and The Climate Reality Project: 24 Hours of Reality: Truth in Action.
