On Sunday 20 October, The Museum of Contemporary Art presents 'A Climate Symposium: Landscapes on the Edge', addressing themes brought forward by the exhibition 'Josh Kline: Climate Change', including the impacts of geography, capitalism, and chaotic weather on global and local communities. While Kline’s work is explicitly science-fiction, this afternoon of talks will present an opportunity to hear from experts working in the field and to engage with science and facts.

Speakers from the wider Los Angeles area in the fields of climate history, public policy, activism, environmental justice and ecological conservation will convene to discuss the contemporary landscape as it is changed by climate imbalance. The program is moderated by artist and MOCA Environmental Council co-founder Haley Mellin, and begins with a special keynote foundational talk by Veerabhadran “Ram” Ramanathan. Josh Kline will join for group discussions at the end of each section of the program.

Sunday 20 October,12–5pm.
The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, 250 S. Grand Avenue.
