The Bubble Pops Popsicle Project
The Bubble Pops Popsicle Project is a participatory installation that values adaptive experiences as we face the climate crisis. Participants are asked what they have learned from experiences like migrating and surviving hurricanes and what advice they would share with others. In trade for their advice, they are given handcrafted popsicles cast in the image of a snow globe depicting local areas at risk of sea-level rise and other climate change conditions.
As the popsicles are consumed, the stick reveals advice collected from a previous participant in English, Spanish, and Haitian-Creole. Laurencia Strauss has collaborated with Zlatko Ćosić to present Movement Strategies, a related series of moving images of collected adaptation advice and water. Visitors and locals will be able to view these collective responses– and contribute their own.
