How can art-science approaches be used, in practice, to contribute to decolonising research?

Learn about approaches to decolonising climate research, climate justice, and participate in live art, in this arts-science workshop.

In the workshop, which is being held both online and at concurrently at the Science Gallery London and Strathmore University in Nairobi, we will explore the concept of decolonising climate research, including how we have been approaching this at the Leverhulme Centre for Wildfires, Environment and Society.

We will discuss, through a series of talks and conversations, how approaches in art and science can contribute to amplifying local, indigenous and diverse voices in the context of the environment and climate justice. We will look at the topic both broadly from a global perspective, and also with a specific focus of wildfires and climate in Kenya. For those attending in person, you will participate in painting a mural exploring climate justice.
