This catalog documents Xavier Cortada: Climate Science Art, an exhibition featuring Miami-based artist Xavier Cortada's climate change-focused artwork from Miami-Dade County, Florida, and the North and South Pole, spanning 2007 to the present. The exhibition was on view at the National Academy of Sciences from July 10 through December 31, 2024. Cortada initiated The Underwater, a community-led climate action project, to raise awareness about sea level rise. It uses interactive public art installations, including yard signs, murals, and sustainable concrete markers, to reveal South Florida's elevation, spark conversations, and spur civic engagement. The exhibition also featured earlier examples of Cortada's projects exploring ideas of global interconnectedness to raise awareness about the realities of climate change. The catalog features the transcript of an interview with Jennifer Jurado, chief resilience officer and deputy director of the Resilient Environment Department, Broward County, Florida, and an essay by xtine burrough, a media artist known for her work in digital poetry, social media interventions, artist books, and prints.
