Hot to Healthy
In the Season 04 finale of Inhabit, Erika Eitland and Kimberly Seigel explore how public art is helping us adapt to one of today’s most urgent climate threats: extreme heat. From misting sculptures like Harbor Fog to kinetic installations like Heat Blooms, these public works of art double as education, refuge, and cooling interventions. With insights from public health and creative leaders, they unpack how art can be leveraged for collective good. We close out this season reflecting on its potential as a climate solution in Boston and beyond and a reminder: design is a future planet intervention.
