How can culture tell another story about the climate crisis? Louis VI speaks to producer and artist Eliki Reade and cultural leader Julie Forchhammer about how the arts and culture can utilise our power as an industrial ecology, to challenge the influence of fossil fuels through grassroots action and in policy spaces. They explore art and culture beyond professionalisation, and generate ideas on how we could live “artfully” alongside the more-than-human world.
