How can teaching artists reclaim ecological consciousness in times of crisis? 

In the March Think Tank, ITAC IMPACT: Climate artist Abner Torres Delina Jr. shared his ITAC project, SACLAW (the Social Actions Community Leadership Arts Workshop)—an arts camp for climate action that cultivates young artist leaders in the Philippines. Abner also discussed how the eco-embodiment practice of KA-MA-LAYA-AN can nurture a care culture and reconnect us with the Earth and our ecological selves. Initially developed as an embodiment exercise, this practice helps create a safe space for artists, educators, leaders, and creatives from all fields to rediscover their artistic identities, realign with their higher purpose, and pursue their creative visions for climate action.
