Interdisciplinary and Creative Storytelling Approaches to Climate Communication

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedings › Conference proceeding › peer-review

Abstract

This article provides an overview of our recent workshops under TRANSLATE, which explored storytelling and artistic approaches to SDG and climate communication. We had guest presentations from former UN Ambassador, David Donoghue (co-founder of the 2030 Agenda), as well as Dr Sarah Bezan (School of English and Digital Humanities), myself (Creative Writing), Dr Alexandra Covaci (University of Kent; Virtual Reality Specialist) and Dr Paul Holloway (School of Geography). The workshop included a multimedia art exhibition and also saw collaborative co-design of a virtual reality film inspired by Dr Paul Holloway's TRANSLATE research. The article also discusses the climate crisis as a crisis of culture and the imagination, influenced by Amitav Ghosh, Stuart Hall and Rebecca Solnit.
