#community creativity

Artists are using public spaces to highlight the impact of climate change on communities and their livelihoods.

They experiment in different formats such as comic strips, photographs, multimedia, theatre, art installations and more to humanise climate change and turn data into lived experiences for the audiences to understand easier.

Climate change-induced displacement, dams and local ecology, oceans and carbon sequestration and climate-resilient food systems are some of the themes tackled by artists and festival or exhibition curators in India.
