Inner and Outer Transformations: The Climate Crisis By Olive Toran
December 15, 2024 @ 2:00 pm - 6:00 pm
“Inner and Outer Transformations: The Climate Crisis,” by Olive Toran, is an immersive multimedia exhibition that weaves fine art photography, poetry, live music, and community climate engagement activities into a cohesive experience. At its core is Olive’s journey, reflecting the synergy between personal healing and climate action. Invoking spiritual solutions through poetry, song, and music—expressions rooted in her healing journey—Olive illustrates how inner transformation can inspire outer change. This ongoing dialogue between self and environment suggests that nurturing personal well-being can spark systemic transformation. Exploring the multimedia displays invites visitors to reconnect with nature, foster resilience against eco-paralysis, and deepen their commitment to environmental and social change.
