LANDS ASSEMBLY

A day of ideas, conversation and collaboration exploring the role of creativity & the arts sector in responding to the climate crisis. Join LANDS for a day of ideas, conversation and collaboration exploring the role of creativity and the arts sector in responding to the climate crisis, what we can do and how we can do it. Bringing together artists, cultural organisations, researchers and communities, the LANDS Assembly will be a space to connect, share practice and imagine sustainable futures together. This event is for you if you want to explore how to bring climate action ideas into your work with participants and communities in engaging ways as part of creative projects and events. You could be a freelance arts practitioner, or someone who works for an arts organisation as a practitioner or manager, or an artist or musician who wants to develop their skills and practice informed by climate action. This event will include a screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing, which will provide inspiration and provocation for group discussions, collaboration and creativity inspired by the film’s messages. It will be a unique opportunity to discuss the film with arts practitioners from across Lancashire, develop new ideas and devise pledges for creative action to take into the future.
