Fellowship focus: Visualising what climate migration means to people through participatory art workshops.
Discussion of climate migration in countries such as the UK usually focuses on environmental risk rather than government’s responsibility in causing the impact which renders places inhabitable. At the same time, climate refugees are often presented as victims or threats. This Fellowship seeks to engage diverse public audiences to consider what climate migration means to them, and use visual arts to consider the intersectionality of climate migration. Ms Esapathi and Dr Loukianov will run workshops with climate activists and lay people and create a visual database for education and advocacy.
