Elise Silvestri explores how art can strengthen climate advocacy with Carrie Ziegler, an interdisciplinary Artist, Speaker, and Community Engagement Expert. Carrie talks about her process for creating and executing the Chrysalis Project: Transforming Together, an art and climate policy project that enacted powerful change over Zoom during the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the participating students, Brisa Sabel, shares her experience of the successful campaign and the  joy and inspiration it gave her. 

Peterson Toscano has a surprisingly good news story: like our responses to climate change, the format of CCR is adapting! [insert finalized details here]

Listen to Carrie Ziegler discuss the power of art storytelling in making meaningful, local climate policy.

Carrie Ziegler harnesses the collective power of art to drive social and environmental transformation. Through her Art in Action initiatives, she collaborates with diverse entities—local governments, organizations, schools, and universities—to create multi-dimensional works that blend participant creativity with pressing societal issues. These projects inspire active engagement, bringing communities together to create lasting change. Along with the Chrysalis Project, Carrie also led the Plastic Whale Project, where students created a life-sized whale out of plastic bags. The whale played a pivotal role in successfully passing a ban on single-use plastic bags in Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater, and Thurston County, Washington.

Based in Olympia, Washington, Carrie is recognized internationally, bringing her impactful vision to global forums, including Aotearoa (New Zealand), Ghana, France, Mexico, and Canada. She empowers Artists and Change Makers to maximize their societal impact through art, inspiring a broader movement of change driven by creativity. Complementing her hands-on work, Carrie is penning her inaugural book, Eclosion: An Artist’s Path to Power and Peace. In this work, she intertwines her memoir with a practical guide for unleashing personal and collective potential, offering a blueprint for transformative change through art—a light for a world in desperate need of inspiration.

Episode 247: Smurfed Our Brain Blood Barrier

Buzzword Rodeo Clown Revival is a sonic breakdown of corporate ritual, design thinking myths, and leadership cults.

Across fifteen scenes, a speaker glitches under a broken dome. Sticky notes rise. QR codes fall. A ghostly cat watches from above. A hologram flickers and fails.

This piece was conceived and performed by MC Debris, blending spoken word, surreal narrative, and AI-rendered collapse into one continuous indictment of modern spectacle.

There are no answers here. Only falling paper and fading light.
Welcome to the rodeo.

MC Debris makes music for broken calculators and haunted spreadsheets—part spoken-word incantation. His work blends esoteric monologue with glitchy beats, channeling the spirit of MF Doom through the logic of a cursed equation. Words drift in and out of meter like they’re dodging something. Nothing’s explained, everything’s felt. “I said to the client, the price is X. I don’t know why—it just feels good.” That’s the doctrine. That’s the math.
