Dear artist-leaders, SACLAW 2023 Climate Camp is looking for you!

Super typhoons, extreme weather conditions, major disasters- it won’t stop. Bad news, right? Climate change is real and it happens now. And The Philippines is a very vulnerable country to suffer the effects of global warming. The good news? We can prepare for this. We can learn ways to mitigate and adapt. We can strengthen our voices!

For 2023, Black Canvas’ SACLAW continues to offer an arts for development camp focusing on climate action. This project is made possible under the mentorship of Black Canvas founder Abner Torres Delina Jr. (ACC Alumni/Global Lab Fellow) who is chosen as one of the International Teaching Artist Collaborative (ITAC) IMPACT: Climate Artist of 2022-2024.
