Communicating on climate through the arts
This exciting project aims to spread the message about the urgency of taking action on the climate and ecological emergency via the arts.
Art in all its forms speaks to us in a different way from facts and figures, drawing an emotional response rather than a rational one.
ACT With The Arts group aims to explore people’s ideas, thoughts and feelings through exhibitions and performances, using art, dance, poetry, music, film and theatre.
Previous initiatives
In June 2024, ACT hosted a week long festival focused on the arts. The twin aims were to inspire people to engage with the climate and ecological crisis through the arts and to help people connect to their imaginative and emotional responses to encourage change.
The festival featured exhibitions, performances, music, dance, poetry, film and theatre, and was a great success.
Please read the full report to see some interpretations of what this innovative occasion could mean for other organisations, and for all of us concerned with climate and ecological activism.
