We’ll be discussing as case studies: Sun and Sea Opera, Sounds Right campaign by Museum for the UN ~ @earthpercent.bsky.social, Music Declares Emergency, Massive Attack & Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, Gallery Climate Coalition, Julie's Bicycle, @glastonbury.bsky.social, and others.

I feel lucky to be speaking to a new wave of arts and culture managers—the very people who can take this knowledge and act in their own communities.

If you fancy joining, drop me a message, and I’ll send you the details.

The arts and culture have a unique power to shift perceptions, spark debate, make people laugh, cry, or simply stop and think.

Very often, artists and arts organisations themselves are on the forefront of making meaningful changes and shifting mindsets.

Climate change is the biggest crisis we’re facing right now. Slashing funding or erasing all mentions of the word “climate“ won’t of course change anything. Navigating this uncharted territory, it’s vital for us to understand the implications this will have on our lives.

I was previously asked if this will be recorded or streamed—the answer is no. But since this is a public university, the lecture is open to everyone, so if you’re in Prague, come along.

Crucial topics will be discussed. Is Taylor Swift really the worst polluter of our time? How do you measure your carbon footprint? What are the best ways to cut emissions without compromising on the quality? Can nature itself be recognised as an artist, cashing in royalties from Spotify?

On Thursday, 27 February, I’m heading back to Arts Management at the Prague University of Economics and Business to give a talk on environmental sustainability in the performing arts as part of their English-language programme.

how it feels being on bluesky atm: a mild déjà vu from the excitement of enriching random encounters on prehistoric twitter, mixed with slight cringe and hope that we‘re not here to experience another collective meltdown this time around.
