Your Creative Role in the Climate Crisis Workshop

Free ticketed event

Capacity for 20 people | Ages 16+

Now more than ever, artists are needed at the heart of change. Through storytelling, connection and culture, creatives shape the way people understand and respond to the world around them — a powerful thing in a climate emergency.

This workshop is a practical taster of BMC’s Climate Adaptation for Creatives course, designed for artists who want to understand and deepen their role in environmental action. Expect honest conversation, creative exercises, and a space to think differently about your practice and its place in the world.

Open to all creatives and artists, at any stage of career.
