What is the purpose of art in leading the way to a flourishing future? And how can we use our creativity and imagination to tackle the climate emergency?
From Shakespeare’s plays to the vivid banners of protest marches, creative expression has always been at the heart of how we understand our impact on the environment and drive change for a better future.
In this uplifting event, award-winning author, theatre producer and climate specialist Amber Massie-Blomfield will explore how the arts and culture respond to the climate emergency, drawing from her recent book Acts of Resistance: The Power of Art to Create a Better World.
After the talk, take part in a relaxed 90-minute writing workshop designed to spark your own response to environmental themes. Through guided exercises, you’ll reflect on your natural surroundings – whether outdoors or through memory and imagination – and explore how words can renew your bond with the living world. Finishing by sharing lines, insights, or reflections together, we’ll celebrate creativity as a spark for hope, connection and change.
