Intersectional Climates: Conversations Towards COP26 - Part One: Climate Change Practices

About

This online international symposium celebrates climate practices that prioritise ecological, political and poetic engagement with communities, places and disciplines.

Organised into two seminars, 'Climate Change Practices' and 'Reinventing Planetary Practices and Imaginaries', eight invited keynote speakers from Brazil, India, South Africa, the US and the UK, will present intersectional practices which extend across multiple disciplines; from architecture, to the arts, humanities, sciences and technologies, and from within different regional communities.
