Out of Sight, Out of Mind: Impact Artist Ekaterina Sky Brings Climate Storytelling to NYC Climate Week
Impact Artist Ekaterina Sky.
Nobody thinks the forest fire 10,000 miles away has anything to do with them. Until it does.
Your water is contaminated.
Your neighborhood is underwater.
Your house is on fire.
Suddenly, you care.
Impact Artist Ekaterina Sky arrives at NYC Climate Week taking on one of the biggest challenges facing the climate conversation: out of sight, out of mind. If it isn’t your home, your water or your air, how do you make it matter?
Ekaterina has built her work around closing that gap. Her art has taken her to COP30, the United Nations global climate summit, and to the stage at Carnegie Hall. Now she brings that work to NYC Climate Week as a speaker at the Transformative Impact Summit.
Ekaterina Sky takes “out of sight, out of mind” and brings it into the room.
Inside every Prayer for the Earth painting is something you can’t see: a handwritten prayer for the planet, sealed beneath sustainable 24 karat gold leaf.
The series will take center stage October 22, when Ekaterina brings Prayer for the Earth to Beverly Hills for an exclusive, invitation-only exhibition.
As an invited panelist at the Transformative Impact Summit, Ekaterina will tackle why artists are becoming an increasingly important voice in the climate movement and the role art can play in turning awareness into action.
Ekaterina is available for commentary on:
• Are we speaking the wrong language about climate change? Ekaterina speaks 4 languages, but calls art her 5th and most powerful. Can art break through where statistics and headlines don’t?
• Have we become numb to catastrophe? Fires, floods, disappearing forests. Ekaterina takes the opposite approach, using beauty instead of fear to make people stop and pay attention.
• What happens when the problem feels too big to matter? Ekaterina turns an overwhelming global problem into something one person can actually do, including a model built around planting 165 trees per person.
• What is art actually for? Can a painting do more than hang on a wall? Ekaterina is using art as a starting point for participation, conversation and action.
Works from the Prayer for the Earth series, finished in sustainable 24 karat gold leaf.
