Worm: art +ecology is a long-term curatorial project that communicates climate change issues through contemporary art and creative practices. Since 2014, it has produced online and gallery exhibitions, interviews with practitioners and also delivers public workshops and talks that explore climate issues through intersectional frames.

Crossing disciplines to share different insights on climate and environmental realities, Worm: art + ecology encourages accessible approaches to these issues, working in collaboration with creative practitioners from groups that are systemically marginalised from often both the mainstream climate movement and the arts.

Worm: art + ecology strives to challenge the criteria for climate change expertise to centre climate justice. Central themes in the project’s artistic activities address racial and social justice as intrinsic to climate justice. They examine the history of climate change to create inclusive participation in dialogue with anti-colonial, decarbonised futures.

The project consists of:

Talks + workshops Worm: art +ecology delivers talks and workshops to the public, university classes and youth groups about art and intersectional climate change. Special focuses include the colonial history of climate change, everyday creative and environmental practices, as well as climate narratives through speculative fictions activities and concepts.

Exhibitions - Worm: art +ecology curates exhibitions both in physical gallery spaces and online to bring exciting and imaginative presentations that challenge the way we narrate and communicate the climate emergency.

Interviews - Worm: art +ecology speaks with practitioners working in the arts, activism, social engagement, research and beyond, to share how multi-faceted our collective perspectives on climate issues are.
