You are warmly invited to the second season of the Climate Imaginaries seminar series co-curated by ATD artist-in-residence Agat Sharma together with Laura Cull Ó Maoilearca.
The series is informed by and runs alongside the theatre-based research project Staging Extreme Weather which Agat is leading at the Academy of Theatre & Dance (ATD) from October-January 2026 in which several both ATD and UvA students are involved. The seminars are an ongoing initiative of Laura’s special professorship at UvA which aims to strengthen connections and exchange between AHK and UvA particularly on the topic of arts and climate justice. Participants in the seminars are also invited to join a public sharing of the practical research in January (see details below).
