Please join us on May 14th at 1 pm for our next CALL Zoom panel featuring NYC-based artists, Emilio Poppe Martinez and Niceli Portugal. This conversation will explore how art can engage with urban infrastructures, environmental justice, and collective resilience. As part of CALL’s Cloudburst Project, artists Emilio Poppe Martinez and Niceli Portugal are working in Corona, Queens—one of New York’s most climate-vulnerable neighborhoods—to address urban flooding, community storytelling, and ecological care.

Moderated by artist, writer, and activist Greg Sholette, this conversation will delve into the role of socially engaged art in confronting the climate crisis, while creating space for collective imagination and action.
