Join us for an evening of engaging discussion from a diversity of Bay Area’s community leaders, thinkers, and artists. This event will be free and open to the public.
The Human Impacts Institute (HII) is headed to the Bay Area for a night of art and conversation around innovative ways to tackle climate change. From decision-making apps to video games to algae fuel, see what innovations are going to change the world. This Human Impacts Salon will be our eighth in a creative communication series in partnership with the Transatlantic Climate Bridge of the German Embassy, where we bring together unlikely allies doing great climate work with multimedia conversation and live art performances from Ashel Eldridge and Helen Wicks.
