The Bureau of Linguistical Reality, (a 2016 ITP Grant Partner), is excited to be doing an Artist in Residency at the Rockaway Institute for Sustainable Environment (RISE) this September 16,17,18.   We will be bringing a mobile field study office to the Rockaways, New York, a community living on the frontlines of climate change, to collaborate with Rockaway Residents to create new words to express their feelings and experiences surrounding climate issues.  We are incredibly thankful for the Whitman Institute for making this collaboration possible.

Invoking The Pause Grant Partners, As You Sow, will be soon be releasing a report titled: "Unconventional Risks: The Growing Uncertainty of Oil Investments".  Here are what some reviewers are already saying: 

·  “This is a tremendous report…I found myself getting more and more hopeful reading the report…”
·   “I can't think of anything that you have missed out, and I think in particular your discussion of future Chinese and Indian oil demand is absolutely key and is very well done. I also think the section on Saudi Arabia's evolving oil-production policy highlights an issue whose importance has not been fully appreciated yet. In short, I think this is an excellent report…”
·   “Overall I think this is very strong.”
·   “I think it… will be an extremely useful addition to the conversation we are all having with companies and other investors—it’s really helpful to have all of this information in a single place.”

The full report will be released to the media in the next few weeks. Check back for updates and the full report.

Building on the inspiring momentum that began at the 2015 Invoking the Pause Grant Partner Gathering and carried through to COP21 Paris, several ITP GPs and "Allies" decided to reconvene on a regular basis in a unique and creative way to continue the conversation. The partnering team of Tara DePorte of Human Impacts Institute, Mark Schapiro - Investigative Journalist, Reinhard Hohlwein - Environmental Consultant, Andy Behar - As You Sow, and Alicia Escott - Artist; decided on a series of online Google Hangout video chats. These chats - entitled Impacts Hour - will each be facilitated by a team partner and feature a different topic/theme with a special guest speaker. The first Impact Hour facilitated by Mark Schapiro and featuring author Espen Stoknes takes place on June 16th at 12pm EDT.  Visit Human Impacts Institute to see the full schedule and join the conversation.

A few weeks ago in San Francisco at former ITP Grant Partner Chris Desser's studio, I was privileged to attend a Salon entitled the Bureau of Linguistical Reality created by Heidi Quante & Alicia Escott -- 2015/16  ITP Grant Partners.  I was particularly excited, as this was the first time I've had the opportunity to experience first-hand part of a Grant Partner's project in real time! They created this Salon evening for local Bay Area  ITP Grant  partners and friends, after many successful Salons in Paris at the COP21 last fall and other venues around the Bay Area. » Read More
