Luoto x Julie’s Bicycle present:
Adaptation and Resilience to Climate Change
Lecture #1 | 90 min
Speakers: Vicky Sword-Daniels, Tenaya King and Graciela Melitsko Thornton / Julie’s Bicycle
The lecture introduces adaptation and resilience as vital strategies in responding to the climate crisis. We will examine the crucial role of culture in supporting communities, buildings, and urban environments to navigate and withstand the impacts of a changing climate. Through a focus on community-led and locally inspired approaches, we will reimagine how adaptation can be both practical and visionary. The session will feature compelling examples from artists and organisations around the world who are integrating these approaches within their practice and mission.
Luoto x Julie’s Bicycle present:
Culture-based solutions: The role of culture in national and international climate policy
Lecture #2 | 45 min
Speakers: Alison Tickell and Imogen Cripps / Julie’s Bicycle
This lecture will introduce the idea of culture-based solutions to the climate crisis and the opportunities to incorporate culture and the arts into national and international climate policies. We will look at how culture – including cultural heritage, the arts, and the creative industries – has been an often-overlooked tool in international climate negotiations and strategies to date, despite its potential to build more resilient communities, offer design solutions to societal problems, and facilitate a shift in values for a more regenerative future. Ahead of COP30 in Brazil, we will look at culture’s role in the Global Mutirão and routes to build culture into climate policies in the coming years, including Nationally Determined Contributions and National Adaptation Plans.
Luoto x Julie’s Bicycle present:
The nature, climate and justice crisis
Lecture #3 | 45 min
Speaker: Taghrid Choucair Vizoso / Julie’s Bicycle
At this critical time, this lecture introduces the origins of climate injustice as crucial to understanding the catastrophic decline of our environment. How have many of our connections to land and nature practices been disrupted as a consequence?
We will look at the ways in which colonialism, militarism and the climate crisis are intertwined. We will examine the latest evidence of ecocide inflicted on Global Majority countries, the impacts of green colonialism, and what is needed for a Just Transition. The concept of resistant ecologies and practices rooted in indigenous land stewardship will be highlighted throughout. The session will also feature examples of how community-led initiatives enable systems of care as a means of repair, and how culture-based practices can lead to transformative, regenerative futures.
