The House On Fire Show is an experimental youth climate drama produced by artist Kyla Kegler in collaboration with the WNY Youth Climate Council, artist Lindsey Griffith & over 40 young climate justice activists and artists from across the USA.
Over the course of three episodes, the House On Fire show tells the story of three communities in three cities— Buffalo, Los Angeles and Louisville, and how they are entangled both personally and with regards to intersectional climate justice work.
This fictional drama based on real lives, real information and real legislation (namely the Climate and Community Investment Act) aims to entertain and educate its audiences on the language of climate justice, in order to give everyone the tools to participate in these essential conversations.
Episodes aired at 8pm Eastern Time on June 19th, June 26th and July 10th, 2021 on the internet and live-screened outside at Buffalo Institute for Contemporary Art (BICA).
This project was generously supported by ASI WNY Global Warming Art Grant, ASI WNY Community Art DEC Grant, Squeaky Wheel Film & Media Art Center’s Equipment Access Award, Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center, Just Buffalo Literary Center, the Lexington Coop, and BICA. BIG thank you to our sponsors for making this show possible!
