ClimateCultures is a network of over 230 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 in our Creative Showcase

The latest feature of recent work from our members is Drawing on Water: artist James Aldridge gives a short video tour of his recent Drawing on Water exhibition, exploring his individual, embodied relationship with local wetlands.

LATEST in 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. See The Art and Heritage of Waste, an essay from Veronica Sekules, Director of GroundWork Gallery.

LATEST in the Museum of the Anthropocene

Our online Museum of the Anthropocene shares content from a project that geographer Dr 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.” In his latest post, Centrifugal Stories in the Anthropocene, Martin introduces the second collection of students’ objects, and how our Museum of the Anthropocene’s ‘centrifugal’ stories resist casting all of humanity together as progenitors of our new planetary age. 

Environmental Keywords – interdisciplinary conversations

In 2022, we worked with the University of Bristol Centre for Environmental Humanities to explore interdisciplinary meanings of three keywords in our climate and biodiversity crisis. Our 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 – and our prototype ‘Undisciplined Glossary’!
