Climate for Change

Foundation for Art and Creative Technology - FACT, Liverpool

In 2009, FACT is exploring how humans can be invested in the change needed to sustain civilization and examining the multiple crises affecting the world: ecological, financial, food, housing. Is society itself becoming unsustainable?

The 21st century has finally hit and there is an energy in the air - how do you respond? Forget the eco-art and bring on local, national and international debates, actions, contexts, struggles and solutions.

Climate for Change is a unique experiment in activism, engagement and networking, examining the multiple crises affecting the planet - from ecological to financial, food to housing. With residents from Eyebeam's Sustainability Research Group, Stefan Szczelkun, Melanie Gilligan and more.

In Gallery 1, a range of groups will take up residence in an environment created from leftover building materials from 2008's Capital of Culture year, questioning the validity of the 'eco-art exhibition' and bringing together different perspectives. FACT hands over the keys to the door and Gallery 1 becomes a social hub for meetings, discussions and workshops, allowing Merseyside grassroots networks to practice and imagine new models of governance and organising - live in the gallery space.
