✊🏻 How is your local space making room for radical imagination?

Community museums must be radical-redefine stories, space & belonging. They must create bold, inclusive experiences that invite all voices.

Comfort won’t drive progress. It’s time to build new cultural ground.

I've been working in #Greenland since 2016 and I'm forever inspired by its shapes, textures and light. Hard to pick any favorites from my portfolio from there, but here's a few.

‘Everywhere You Go'

Being so cold this morning in Belfast I have decided to post one of my favourite images to date. Taken in Ramberg back in 2020. Magical memories from the trip.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

― J.R.R. Tolkien

Climate art isn't just awareness - it can be regenerative!

Art through creative expression can engage diverse audiences, spark empathy, and encourage collaborative action. By breaking barriers, art enables a shared vision for a sustainable future, inspiring solutions and positive change for the climate agenda. #Artactivism #ClimateAction #sustainability
Jason deCaires Taylor -sculptor & environmentalist.

His submerged art acts as artificial reefs, supporting marine life and diverting tourism from fragile ecosystems. His work addresses climate change, human fragility, and promotes environmental regeneration and hope.💙
