Rising Up to Climate Change: Storytelling with Saris

Rising Up to Climate Change documents the collaborative Storytelling with Saris art and advocacy project, which works with communities in Bangladesh, the US, and Europe to empower people to address climate change. This feminist project uses printmaking, performance art, and film to engage thousands of people. Monica Jahan Bose began this project as a collaboration with women from her mother's ancestral village, Katakhali, on Barobaishdia Island, Bangladesh. This full-color book contains artwork, photographs, and writings about the project, including translations of two oral tradition songs by the women of Katakhali. The book is eco-printed by a family-owned printer in Connecticut that uses mostly renewable energy.
