Xavier Cortada, this year’s resident artist, will present his Underwater HOA (homeowners association) an art project that aims to generate awareness about sea level rise and engage neighbors in taking action by providing space where they can collectively address the impacts of sea level rise and climate change. We have brought Xavier here especially to Galveston to meet our homeowners, make some yard art, and to have some fun with all of us.
The Underwater HOA is a socially engaged art project that aims to generate awareness about sea level rise and engage neighbors in taking action by providing a space where they can collectively address the impacts of sea level rise and climate change , as part of our World Ocean Day Festival activities.
Artist Boat invites you to join us for this FREE Eco-Art Workshop intended for Coastal Homeowners to learn how climate change and sea level rise may affect you and to guide you through making an elevation yard sign.
Xavier Cortada, Miami’s pioneer eco-artist, uses art’s elasticity to work across disciplines to engage communities in problem-solving. Particularly environmentally focused, his work aims to generate awareness and action around climate change, sea level rise, and biodiversity loss. He has created art at the North and South Poles to address environmental concerns at every point in between. Over the past three decades, the Cuban-American artist has created more than 150 public artworks, installations, collaborative murals, and socially engaged projects.
