As an experiment in interdisciplinarity, this exhibition showed how students from all three schools of The Cooper Union engage independently in works that relate to climate. This diverse survey of work addressed space, environment, ecologies, systems, nature, destruction, and potential solutions to process and combat the approaching denouement of human life. The Exhibition featured 45 pieces from 70 students across the art, architecture, and engineering schools of The Cooper Union. Additional images of the exhibition can be found here.
Cooper Union X Climate Week 2019 is a student-led series of events that provides space for The Cooper Union and its broader community to explore and engage in themes, across a variety of disciplines, which examine the many facets of the climate crisis.
This exhibition was located on the 5th and 6th floor of the Foundation Building, 7 East 7th Street.
The Cooper Climate Coalition, an open body of students, faculty, and staff at The Cooper Union, facilitates conversations, events, and student projects within the institution that center the Climate Crisis and its intersections with races, classes, genders, sexualities, histories, economies, political structures and more.
Along with organizing Cooper Union’s Climate Week programs and events in the fall, the Climate Coalition takes responsibility for fostering interdisciplinarity throughout The Cooper Union in support of environmental action.
