Creativity and Climate Change

Art Attack: why getting creative about climate change makes sense, David Buckland and Yasmine Ostendorf, 23.09.13

Notes from article:

- Cape Farewell has been collaborating with the world's leading climate scientists and artists to create a cultural response to climate change

- Part of our methodology is to work where you can have the biggest impact. In relation to climate change that means working in China, Russia, and North America (where we have a sister organisation in Toronto).

Cape Farewell started in 2001 by David Buckland. Since then he has engaged with a number of different creatives - 'Using creativity to innovate, we engage artists for their ability to evolve and amplify a creative language, communicating on a human scale the urgency of the global climate challenge.'  They are committed to the notion that artists can engage the public with the issue of climate change through visuals. The organisation hold yearly exhibitions and workshops that each address a different topic related to climate change informed by the work of leading scientists.
