In the present climate of rising sea levels and projected territorial losses, can art change how we understand natural disasters? Artistic responses to devastation caused by hurricanes are part of a longer history of how the Caribbean confronts and visualizes extreme weather. This lecture will explore how artists have captured the impact of these events, building a powerful visual vocabulary that speaks to the region's vulnerability to climate change.
