A Cultural Ecology seminar led by Subathra Subramaniam—choreographer, dancer and educator.

Suba is the Artistic Director at Akademi—the UK’s leading South Asian Dance organisation. Suba was Co-Education Director of Cape Farewell—an international not-for-profit programme working to bring creatives, scientists and informers together to stimulate a cultural narrative that will engage and inspire a sustainable and vibrant future society. Suba was Artist in Residence at the Environment Institute at UCL, where she worked closely with climate scientists to investigate the value of dance as a means of raising awareness of climate change. She is also a trained secondary science teacher.
