For this episode, Ceri is joined by British Filipino curator, writer and researcher John Kenneth Paranda. He bridges the worlds of art, science and other disciplines to shape global conversations around sustainability, resilience and regenerative practices. They unpack his journey and explore how art is mobilising change and the role institutions like the Sainsbury Centre can play in shaping climate consciousness.

Get ready for an inspiring conversation about creativity activism and the courage to take a stand.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The language of art is powerful, globally understood and moves people on an emotional level.
• Every city or art space has its own brand and language, but in all of them art touches people, inspires and exposes them to new ideas and makes them think differently.
• Art is inspiring experts from different disciplines to work together to solve climate change.
• We all need to take a clear stand to protect the climate, despite the risks. Be respectful and polite but be effective.
• The Sainsbury centre takes an innovative approach and looks at things holistically.
• The materials and mediums used for A World of Water are deliberately varied to attract people with a wide range of interests. Ken shares examples.
• We need to reduce carbon emissions for exhibitions e.g. loaning locally.
• Artists can play a role by using more sustainable and waste materials.
