Activity: Contribution to engagement › Public talk, presentation or panel discussion
Artists, scientists and local environmental agencies came together to discuss the role of art and arts organisations in raising awareness of climate change at an event led by The Burton last month. The Melting Ice | Rising Tides: Art and Environment Symposium was organised alongside The Burton’s spring exhibition by artist Emma Stibbon RA, which considered how the warming environment of the polar regions is impacting on the changing UK coastline we experience every day. The event aimed to extend the themes of the exhibition for audiences interested in the intersection of art and the environment.
