The collaboration has been developed between the Leverhulme Centre for Wildfires, Environment and Society and the Arts Cabinet with the aim of shedding light onto this critical issue by forging creative exchanges between artists and scientists.
An online editorial ‘Seeing Fire’ has just been published, showcasing research projects and art works presented by artists from all around the world. Over the coming months, the Arts Cabinet will produce a second editorial of experimental outputs of the collaborations which aim to bring to the fore innovative ways of representing, questioning and interpreting wildfire.
The Exchange will convene an online Learning Lab with the artists and scientists on 14 and 15 July to share their findings and engage wildfire and climate practitioners, artists, researchers, students and other learners. To RSVP please go to the Eventbrite page.
The King’s Researchers involved in the collaboration are Professor Martin Wooster, Dr Mark Grosvenor, Vissia Didin Ardiyani and Kapil Yadav, from the Department of Geography. Kapil talks about his experiences in the video below.
