Temporary Exhibit

Climate Change Challenge

Presented by Sonos and generously sponsorsed by Bank of America, Cox Communications, Schlinger Family Foundation, and Southern California Gas Company.

MOXI will challenge the next generation to learn how they can put the practices of scientists and creative thinkers to work to help battle climate change. This engaging series of exhibits and programs taking place throughout the museum includes a temporary transformation of the Handprint Globe into the Climate Change Globe, Innovation Workshop activities that tackle eco-design and upcycling challenges, the Innovation Wall spotlighting those working to combat the effects of climate change, and a new art installation by artist, educator, and advocate, Calder Kamin.

SuperArtificial

MOXI’s Interactive Media Track will feature the creative reuse artwork of Calder Kamin and a new SuperArtificial makerspace in partnership with Art From Scrap which invites guests to create and add to an upcycled garden filled with vibrantly colored creatures and plants created from plastic waste. Kamin transforms trash into beautifully-crafted creatures, sculpting whimsical installations made entirely from discarded materials. The adjacent SuperArtificial makerspace will be modeled on an enchanted garden from the future and offer guests a chance to add their creations to the menagerie.
