NEW in our Creative Showcase

Our Creative Showcase is an evolving collection of new and recent works from our members. Our latest contribution:

In And So I Watch You From Afar, photographic artist and researcher Aindreas Scholz discusses his photographic installation, where cyanotype is both image and material event. The work is part of ongoing research into photography’s material footprint, reconsidering it not only as technique, but as a process that registers the environmental conditions in which an image is made.

LATEST in our LONGER feature

Longer features members’ works that offer a deeper exploration of a topic than is possible with our blog posts.

In Telling Stories About Climate Change, writer David Guenette suggests that, too often, ‘climate fiction’ fails to bridge the planetary-scale climate crisis with human-scale everyday life. Climate fiction should focus on human stories that connect readers directly to our present challenges: more stories we can identify with may relieve suppressive social silence on climate change. See his accompanying blog post, The Steep Climes Quartet: My Take on Climate Fiction, above.

LATEST In Our Museum of the Anthropocene

See our five 2026 student contributions to our online Museum of the Anthropocene. The museum shares content from a project that geographer Martin Mahony is running with third-year students on the University of East Anglia’s Geography and Environmental Sciences course. “From world-changing technologies to humble consumer goods, and from family heirlooms to priceless works of art, each year the Museum is stocked with objects which tell stories of both personal and planetary significance.” Martin introduces the 2026 cohort in his ClimateCultures blog post, The Age of Irony. And see our ‘curator conversation’ between Martin and GroundWork Gallery’s Veronica Sekules.
