Programme with the Cultural Institute at King’s

TippingPoint and the Cultural Institute at King’s are developing an exciting programme of knowledge exchange activity and events to explore the critical role artists can play in articulating the cultural, societal and behavioural shifts needed in a world subject to climate change. This programme will provide artists with an opportunity to explore and extend the potential of their creative practice through collaboration with scientists and academic researchers from King’s College London. It will include a series of themed workshops for academics and artists (2013-2014), and other activities under development.

One aspect of this new collaboration will be a series of workshops that brings together academics from across King’s College London with artists and other interested parties in the wider community. The aim is to explore urgent issues or challenges which have a bearing on climate change, and are of particular interest to the academics concerned, to the artistic community, and to the broader public. The programme for these workshops is presented on this site.

Possible outputs from these workshops will hopefully be a series of new collaborations and commissions between artists and academics—facilitated by the Cultural Institute and Tipping Point—which will reflect novel perspectives on global climate change inspired by an innovative combination of research and creative practice.
