Abstract
The Artist Brigade is an exciting artist-activist project to “stay with the trouble” of global warming and changing climates. Since August 2020, four ‘lilypad’ gatherings co-convened by Kendra Fanconi (The Only Animal), the BC Alliance for Arts + Culture, Sherry Yano (the David Suzuki Foundation), Marie Lopes (Vancouver Park Board), Sue Biely (Story Money Impact), and Lolehawk (Stό:lō Nation) have brought together artists with other stakeholders on the land to discover how we can collaboratively respond to the needs for climate action around the Vedder River, Dakota Valley, Heather Lands, and Howe Sound. Drawing on Potawatomi scholar Kyle Powys Whyte’s distinction between an “epistemology of crisis” and an “epistemology of coordination,” Kimberly Skye Richards discusses the strategies deployed by the Artist Brigade for responding responsibly to our situation of living amid the earth’s sixth great extinction event.
