Climate Emergency in Practice – Finding Ways for Individual Artists to Address the Challenge
Fife Contemporary is organising a day event which considers the climate emergency and looks at practical ways artists can address it within their practice
A practical day designed to give individual artists knowledge about how arts’ practice relates to the Climate Emergency and empower you to make a difference in the lead up to Scotland’s Climate Week (7-13 Oct). The emphasis will be on information, discussion and working together on devising a useful toolkit. We can contribute positive handprints as well as negative footprints to our environment!
