Earth Day at LCC 2022

Join us at LCC for a wide range of Earth Day events taking place at LCC on Friday 22 April 2022:

Beach of Dreams, LCC Upper Gallery, All Day

A film about the journey to walk 500 miles over 35 days along the east coast of England, to explore how we could take care of the environment, take care of the coast, take care of the community and ourselves. The Artistic Director of  Kinetika, Ali Pretty, walked the full 500 miles with Guardian travel writer Kevin Rushby and radio producer John Offord. They were joined by local people, environmentalists and artists along the coast of Suffolk, Essex, and the Thames Estuary.

Micropolitics and Climate Activism, LCC Lecture Theatre B, 10.30-11.30am

Every activism engages in persuasion of some sort. An activism worthy of the name must move people to feel, want, and act differently than they did before. This talk explores the possibility that persuasion is also a material transformation, and it asks how we might approach activism differently. Micropolitics and Climate Activism
