Creative Resilience Lab
Hosted by the Centre for Reworlding & UW Madison Division of the Arts
The two-day Creative Resilience Lab brings together Indigenous custodians, artists, scientists, community organizations, emergency services, and others to explore the intersections of climate emergency, adaptation, disaster risk reduction, social cohesion, and creative practice. Through experiential scenarios, expert panels, and collaborative exercises, participants will build cross-sectoral relationships and practical strategies for community-based resilience. The lab also offers professional development, deepening understanding of how arts and culture can strengthen our collective capacity to adapt and thrive in the face of disasters.
