Sandpit Session: Climate and Ecology

London Arts and Health‘s Creative Health Sandpit is an informal space which exemplifies brilliant practice from the sector and allows members to learn, engage and explore in a structured yet open way. Across 2025-2026 we have asked our partners at Arts & Health Hub to curate a number of sandpits exploring facets of being an artist engaged in making work about health.

At this Sandpit we will explore themes of climate, ecology and wellbeing through artist-led reflection and hands-on creative activity. Participants will have the opportunity to engage directly with creative practices, gaining insight into how creative methods can deepen understanding of our relationships with environment and community. Rather than positioning climate and mental health as distant or abstract concepts, the session offers space to explore them through making, conversation and shared experience.

• 20th March 2026
• 10.30am - 1pm
• The Studio at St Margaret’s House (Google Maps) Building 15, Room 11

Selene is an artist and educator with over 15 years of experience working across the arts, education and wellbeing sectors. With experience of working both in the NHS and with local councils supporting care experienced young people, as well as collaborations with numerous charities and art organisations, inclusion and accessibility are core approaches to her teaching and artistic practice.

Selene’s practice and research draws on analogue photography, printmaking, poetry and collage to explore Black cultural identity, hidden community histories and decolonial ecology through the use of diaspora plant-based photographic developers. Collage, in particular, is central to her methodology, weaving together personal and cultural archives to explore experiences of displacement and neurodiversity, to hold hope and care within the copies and facsimiles of reproducible images.
