Join us on 15 November 2023 at 14:00 - 15:15 as we ask how do we transition from climate awareness to climate action? There is much we can do to tackle the climate emergency including challenging the Governments and corporations causing the problem. What role can art play in developing narratives, stories and emotional connection to empower more effective climate action?
Climate empowerment will be moderated by Alice Sharp, Artistic Director at Invisible Dust. Speakers include Dr Julie Freeman, artist, and Zoë Palmer, artist, writer and human ecologist. This is the second of our Constellations ° Assemblies 2023, a series of free online events open to all artists, curators, practitioners, commissioners, and those working across, or interested in public art, social practice and regeneration.
All Assemblies are held online, accessible via UP Projects’ digital participation space, The Hall, and will be in the form of a webinar.
Constellations 2023 also includes Co-Creating Public Space: How can we thrive? an in-person conference realised in partnership with John Hansard Gallery.
Alongside the events, the Constellations ° Cohort, a selected group of artists, curators, producers, and practitioners operating in the expanded field of public art, will take part in a programme of free learning and development opportunities.
Constellations 2023 is curated by UP Projects in partnership with Flat Time House and in association with Liverpool Biennial. The programme is generously supported by Arts Council England, the Barrington Hibbert Associates Access Fund, and the Constellations Patrons.
