Signe Johannessen and Helen Kilbride will explore the human relationship with nature and the ocean in relation to their own artwork. This talk will delve into how we can use our creativity as a tool to think about climate change. You'll also discover how artists are drawing attention to the effects of climate change and what the solutions are that they might offer to rethink our relationship to nature.
Signe Johannessen's art playfully combines personal biography and historical archives. She will discuss her latest project, which draws on Liverpool’s maritime history to bring our attention to the effects of climate change on marine life. In response, Helen Kilbride, who grew up in Liverpool, will discuss her current film project Did the Earth Move for You on the relationship between queer beings and marginalised ecologies at boundary points, for example soil, sand, skin, shoreline and intertidal zones.
