Environmental Justice as a Civil Right Exhibition

Antigua and Barbuda’s inaugural National Pavilion explores environmental justice as a civil right. As an investigation into the acute crisis of climate change facing this island nation, cutting edge sustainability and unique partnerships are explored in rebuilding Barbuda, expanding the Botanical Gardens, and the Government House Restoration Initiative, included in the World Monuments Watch 2018.

The New School’s Tishman Environment and Design Center and Parsons School of Design hosted an exhibition of Antigua and Barbuda’s National Pavilion at the Arnold and Sheila Aronson Galleries in December of 2018. This was the first time The New School featured a National Pavilion from the Venice Architecture Biennale.

Through this exhibition, the National pavilion explores three sites in Antigua and Barbuda through a combination of architectural models, artifacts, and drawings to examine the relationship between architecture and the environment
