EXPLORATION

What is 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 [https://www.creativeclimateleadership.com/] programme.

COURAGE

True leadership takes a lot of creativity and courage. Climate justice activist Payal Parekh [https://www.creativeclimateleadership.com/alumni/payal-parekh/] and artist, activist, permaculture teacher Guy Ritani [https://www.creativeclimateleadership.com/alumni/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.

EXPLORATION

How do we use our curiosity to move towards deeper connections? Host Louis VI, and guests researcher Zoe Rasbash [https://www.creativeclimateleadership.com/alumni/zoe-rasbash/] and curator Mateo Chacón Pino [https://www.creativeclimateleadership.com/alumni/mateo-chacon-pino/] discuss how research can utilise different forms of knowledge to develop communication strategies and actions to bring communities along.

CARE

How can we collectively explore different kinds of care? Louis VI talks to choreographer Dawit Seto [https://www.creativeclimateleadership.com/alumni/dawit-seto-gobeze/] and arts manager and curator Ceyda Berk-Söderblom [https://www.creativeclimateleadership.com/alumni/ceyda-berk-soderblom/] about how creativity supports climate leadership from the Global South, and provides insight on why we need diverse approaches to language beyond words and through sensory expression.

REPAIR

How we connect to the earth and each other is more important than ever. Designer Gaja Mežnarić Osole [https://www.creativeclimateleadership.com/alumni/gaja-meznaric-osole/] and visual artist Allison O’Connor [https://www.creativeclimateleadership.com/alumni/allison-oconnor/] 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.
