Creating the Future - Creating Climate Change Emblems

A series of workshops combining arts and crafts with science and ecology to help us imagine positive futures.
About this Event

Creating the Future takes place on the second Wednesday of every month in Finsbury Park at the Commons/Jamboree Hut, next to the Seven Sisters Gate (inside the park), part of The Commons Residency Project in Finsbury Park.

These workshops aim to build an informal community in the heart of Finsbury Park, that come together to learn about resilience in response to some of our questions, confusions, concerns and desires for the future. We will be working together to tell meaningful and positive stories that help us imagine the future we need and how we might get there. Focusing on planetary and personal health, climate and environmental change, these workshops will combine art, craft making, storytelling and scientific data to slow down debate and find more gentle and positive ways of thinking, creating and collaborating.

Creating the Future – Climate Change Emblems
Wednesday 9th October 2024
5.30-8.30pm
A making session that invites participants to create “climate change emblems” together – circular symbols made from felt, glue, needles, thread, cardboard, paper, and wood to represent the impact of climate change on our lives. We’ll make, reflect, discuss and respond to one another and to questions posed and scientific data prepared by the facilitator. Working as a group, we will question and explore the different perspectives we hold about climate change and the future.
