Groundwater Arts

Groundwater Arts is an emerging collaborative consulting group. We work with theatre organizations and individual artists who want to examine their practices and decolonize their standard operating procedures. Our goal is to help arts institutions and individuals move toward a just and equitable future that responds to the ongoing crisis of climate change by embracing an all-encompassing view of how they move through the world. We call this a "climate justice lens." ​Climate change is an environmental AND cultural challenge; and arts institutions are uniquely positioned to shift the narrative and help build a more just and generative future. We work to build alignment and collaboration with the movement for climate justice across sectors, across borders, and across all artificial boundaries that separate us from each other and from the planet. ​
