Turning the Tide
Creative Actions for Uncharted Climate Emergencies
Mission
Our mission is to harness the power of culture as a dynamic force in addressing climate change. We believe that by integrating new approaches, there is hope to prevent planetary self-destruction and inspire a future that respects both living organisms and nature, leaving no one and nothing behind. By uniting artists with local communities, we can influence city planners, politicians, and decision-makers to rethink their strategies and move towards a more sustainable future.
