Coinciding with Earth Day (Friday, April 22), the UGA Lamar Dodd School of Art and College of Environment + Design will host Port Futures and Social Logistics: A virtual research summit and online exhibition of works curated by artist and scholar Jan Derk Diekema (HAVIK, NL), UGA faculty Stephen Ramos, James Enos, and UGA MFA candidate Annie Simpson. The summit and exhibition will explore the port city as a platform for furthering global cultural dialog through art and urbanism. The event focuses on environments, histories, and materials of production, extraction, and circulation in the age of energy transition.
The objective is to bring together artists, urbanists, researchers, and practitioners to campus, and invite guests from national and international initiatives to help launch a broader research collaborative to address the cultural meanings of ports and port cities in times of global climate change.
