This event was originally scheduled for July 2022 but has been rescheduled due to extreme weather conditions on the day.

King’s Culture and Invisible Dust have invited artists and King’s College London academics with a research interest in climate change and sustainability to come together for a Creative Collaborations workshop to explore ideas and develop new collaborations.

This workshop will begin developing proposals for the King’s Artists residency programme, which now closes for applications on 21 October 2022.

About the Creative Collaborations workshop

Tuesday 6 September, 1.30 - 4.30pm, Science Gallery London.

We’ll be welcoming attendees from 1pm with refreshments and hosting an informal drinks reception after the workshop, from 4.30pm – 5.30pm.

In this workshop, academics and artists will be offered the opportunity to:

• Explore the role that art can play in addressing the climate crisis
• Hear how academic cultural collaborations can benefit both creative and academic research agendas
• Share interests and what you are looking for from a collaboration
• Hear from others and identify partners for collaboration
• Begin discussing collaboration ideas

Artists will be paid a fee of £100 to attend and travel to the half-day workshop.

We welcome academics and artists interested in the broadest possible range of aspects of climate change, including (but not limited to):

• Climate and environmental science
• Human behaviour and psychology
• Natural disasters and perceptions of risk
• Climate change and environmental justice as relevant to the Global South
• Environmental governance and politics
• Legal aspects of climate change
• Net zero technologies and engineering solutions
• Other environmental themes linked to climate change, such as the ocean, weather, nature, biodiversity, air pollution, energy or waste.
