Conversations on Creative Climate Leadership

Co-host Farah Ahmed closes the podcast series with an introduction to Julie’s Bicycle and unpacks why we developed the Creative Climate Leadership programme.

How do we use our curiosity to move towards deeper connections? Host Louis VI, and guests researcher Zoe Rasbash and curator Mateo Chacón Pino discuss how research can utilise different forms of knowledge to develop communication strategies and actions to bring communities along. 

True leadership takes a lot of creativity and courage. Climate justice activist Payal Parekh and artist, activist, permaculture teacher Guy Ritani join Louis VI to talk about how creativity can feed into grassroots-led climate activism, and shape global climate policy in a truly intersectional and intergenerational way. 

How we connect to the earth and each other is more important than ever. Designer Gaja Mežnarić Osole and visual artist Allison O’Connor talk to Louis VI about how public art in unexpected spaces can engage communities with nature, and in turn help us to repair our relationships with each other and the more-than-human world. 

How can playfulness interact with our Climate Action? Our host Louis VI is joined by theatre-maker and experience designer Toby Peach and director and theatre-maker Ntando Cele, who invite us to think about how humour can connect us to difficult subjects. Toby and Ntando discuss playful activism as a tool to engage audiences with creative climate action, inspire empathy across borders, and give us the permission to step into leadership on climate action.
