On October 26th 2020, still recovering from my October 17th performance (Hurdles), I decided to make a quiet gesture of my desperation. On that day, the people of the province in which I live were voting in a conservative government that would continue doing as little as possible to mitigate climate change. With Wascana Lake and the Legislative Building behind me, I read a chapter titled “Raising a Daughter in a Doomed World” from Ray Scranton’s book, We’re Doomed. Now What?: Essays on War and Climate Change. To read more about this performance, please see my post in which I reflect on how I felt about it the day that it took place.
