NEW Feature: Environmental Keywords

ClimateCultures is working with the University of Bristol’s Centre for Environmental Humanities on a short project to explore interdisciplinary meanings of some keywords in our climate and biodiversity crisis. Our online materials complement recent workshops for researchers, community groups and creative practitioners. See our project pages – and our first four blog posts in the series: Walking With the Word ‘Justice’; Permeability: On Green Frogs, Imagination & Reparations, Growing With the Word ‘Resilience’ & A Nature More Resilient. More soon!

NEW in our Creative Showcase

The latest feature of recent work from our members is Art of Shading the Sun, a poetic film from artist Evgenia Emets that speaks from the perspective of the land 100 years in the future. Explore this, and Remember, a collaboration between composer Stanley Grill with choreographer and dancer Mariko Endo that serves as a reminder that we are by nature part of the earth and over a dozen other works: fiction, nonfiction, memoir, poetry, comic books, courses, zines and more.
