The official opening of COP28 at the Resilience Frontier showcased a remarkable discussion and exhibition featuring Michael P. Nash’s Climate Refugees Lunar Art Collection. This collaborative art project, curated by Nash and Dallas Santana, showcased the work of 22 artists from around the globe who drew inspiration from the multi-award-winning 2010 film, Sundance “Climate Refugees” documentary. Filmmaker and artist Michael Nash took the stage to elaborate on the significance of the art collection, drawing global attention to the human face of climate change and potentially future life forms, as the collection is destined to rest on the moon for years to come.
