Discussion: Art & Environmental Sustainability
The 2023 Fringe of Colour Films programme takes audiences on a journey through the life cycle of a plant, prompting us to think about our connection to and relationship with our environment - specifically as Black and Indigenous people and People of Colour. In this panel, we will discuss the role of film and the arts in environmental sustainability and climate justice, and our responsibilities as both creatives and audience members.
Speakers include visual artist, curator and workshop facilitator Alaya Ang, social justice activist Yvonne Blake, and writer and climate justice organiser Jessica Gaitán Johannesson. This discussion is chaired by Fringe of Colour Films In-Person Director Carmen Thompson.
This event is supported by Film Hub Scotland, part of the BFI’s Film Audience Network, and funded by Screen Scotland and National Lottery funding from the BFI.
In-Person: Sat 24 June / 16:00 - 17:00 / Main Hall
