Sharing the slides I used yesterday to speak at the @CultureDeclares Southbank Centre assembly #TogetherWeAct #CultureTakesAction What are the pathways for culture to take action in this intensifying emergency? How do we renew our declaration?
Culture Declares East was launched in March 2022 & in that time we’ve held 7 events, 4 online & 3 in person. And we have funded plans for two funded Cultural Assemblies.
We are Lucy Enskat, Genevieve Rudd and Bridget McKenzie. We’ve enjoyed making these happen over the past year. However, life is making other plans for each of us and we have very little capacity to continue alone.

In Climate Museum UK we've launched this new website Imagine Futures - creative tools for imagining futures with young people, in face of the Earth crisis. Please read, share, use, comment etc. https://imaginefutures.net/ #possitopia #PossitopiaNorwich #CultureTakesAction
Imagine Futures – Creative tools for imagining futures with young people

Thinking about how we design communications & narratives about the Earth crisis. I'm assuming participatory & questioning approaches work best and that time & reiteration are vital. Not quick hits that leave people confused & resistant. Theorising that we need to spend more time on causes & solutions, less on impacts. Suggesting something like the design diamond, open-close-open-close. An increasing integration of sense, emotion, idea & action. #CultureTakesAction #ClimateMuseumUK
