ClimateCultures is a network of over 200 artists, curators & researchers in many countries. Our Directory showcases the diversity of interests, practices & works bringing creative responses to our ecological and climate crises. You can search for individual members below.

NEW FEATURE: Museum of the Anthropocene

We’re excited to launch a new feature, sharing content from a project that geographer Dr Martin Mahony has been running with third-year students on the University of East Anglia’s Geography and Environmental Sciences course. Opening with Martin’s post, Object-based Learning in the Anthropocene, our online Museum of the Anthropocene includes an inaugural selection of objects from previous years’ students. “The project is designed to give students freedom to use their objects to explore what being a citizen of the Anthropocene means to them. 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.”

Environmental Keywords – interdisciplinary conversations

We’ve been working with the University of Bristol Centre for Environmental Humanities to explore interdisciplinary meanings of some keywords in our climate and biodiversity crisis. ClimateCultures online materials complement the University’s workshops for researchers, community groups and creative practitioners. See our project pages for blog posts and more than 25 creative contributions from our members on themes of Environmental Justice, Resilience and Transitions. NEW: Our first entries in a prototype ‘Undisciplined Glossary’ for our three Environmental Keywords!

Longer: our special feature for exploring in depth

Longer is the ClimateCultures offering of works that don’t fit within the normal ‘short reads’ format of our blog: essays, stories or other forms that haven’t been freely available online elsewhere, although they may have appeared in print or other formats. Our latest Longer piece is Open Deep Mapping: Conversations-in-process, Places-in-time, an essay from independent artist and researcher Iain Biggs.

NEW In our Creative Showcase

The latest feature of recent work from our members is 1.8, Katrin Spranger‘s powerful video using performance with oil itself to bring home the global impact of pollution and waste on our oceans and wildlife. Explore this and many other works: comic books, courses, film, fiction, nonfiction, memoir, music, poetry, stand-up comedy, visual art, zines and more.. Explore many other works: comic books, courses, film, fiction, nonfiction, memoir, music, poetry, stand-up comedy, visual art, zines and more.
