The Art of Environmental Discomfort with Andrew Yang

The Art of Environmental Discomfort with Andrew Yang

Last summer, Jordan stumbled upon an exhibit at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington DC. One installation was particularly inspiring and impactful. It was called “Flying Gardens of Maybe”, part of the Unsettled Nature exhibit. This installation reflected on the age of humans in relation to the Earth, by examining the unintended consequences of human actions on nonhuman life. We then made an Instagram post highlighting the artist, Andrew Yang, as an Imperfect Eco-Hero. To our delight, we were recently able to connect with and interview this artist! Andrew Yang is not only an incredible artist whose work has been showcased globally, but holds a PhD in Biology and an MFA in Fine Arts, and is an associate professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In today’s episode, we’re exploring the clash between art and science, the implications of one’s impacts, building meaningful connections as a climate activist, gracious failures, and how to communicate questions rather than answers.
