The work of Paul Ryan, artist and associate professor of Media at The New School for General Studies, will be featured at the Smithsonian Online Education Conference on Climate Change in Washington, DC.

The conference, held from September 29 through October 1, will explore the Smithsonian’s research and collections related to the evidence, impact, and response to climate change. Alongside Smithsonian scientists and curators, participants will look at the issues surrounding climate change from the perspectives of science, history, and art.

On September 30, at 3:00 p.m., the work of Paul Ryan, the sole representative of the arts, will be presented. At this session, the essential relationship between artists and nature, tracing the emergence of video within the counterculture green movement will be looked at, and Ryan’s work, which contributes to discourses on ecology, will be spotlighted.
