Energy Transition and the Arts
What do artists mean when they talk about generating productive discomfort? And how exactly can this productive discomfort contribute to the energy transition?
At our next event, we’ll be exploring these questions as part of the Energy Futures Lab’s Big Ideas for #OurEnergyFuture series!
Energy Futures Lab’s Big Ideas for Our Energy Future series encourages cross-pollination across all stakeholders in the energy system on the topic of how accelerating the energy transition fuels economic recovery in Alberta. In this session with Mark Hopkins, we will be exploring the role of arts and culture in facilitating energy transition.
