Crafting Conversations: A Call and Response to Our Changing Climate through Art

Curated by Katy DeMent and Ann Rosenthal, the exhibiting artworks are organized thematically, addressing issues related to climate change through craft, while posing literal questions for the public to ponder. These works demonstrate how Pittsburgh artists are attempting to change their environmental footprint while crafting conversations for thousands of transit users. Crafting Conversations invites viewers to take a “long view,” suggesting how we might shift our thinking, actions, and culture to allow for a more sustainable, life-affirming relationship between human and non-human nature.

Featured artists and collectives: Rose Clancy; Creatives for Climate; Katy DeMent; Joan Guerin; Elizabeth Ashley Kyber; The Mobile Sculpture Workshop; Albert Pantone; Pamela Paulsrud, “Tree Whisperers”; Laura Ramie; Ann Rosenthal, “LUNA”; Lindsey Scherloum; Sarah Simmons; and Remembering Hiroshima, Imagining Peace (RHIP).

Contemporary Craft’s BNY Mellon Satellite Gallery is located at 500 Grant St, Pittsburgh, PA 15219 (in the Lobby of the Steel Plaza T-Station at Oliver Street and Grant Street in downtown Pittsburgh). This exhibition is opened daily through midnight and is also free to the public.
