Elephant in the Room
DESIGN EARTH
How might the design project — as expounded through drawings and narratives — explicate climate change as it anticipates other possible worlds? In this talk, DESIGN EARTH presents three recent works that make public the climate crisis, including the animation “Elephant in the Room.” A speculative ecofeminist fable for the climate crisis, the animation addresses the elephant in the room — the climate emergency — by telling the story of one elephant who storms out of a museum taxidermy and takes action to combat environmental cruelty and climate injustice.
