Close Of Play: Climate Emergency and Creative Action Series

This was a series of events hosted in November and December 2021 which included the exhibition ‘In-Process’, an online panel discussion, a guest lecture and a number of workshops. The month long activations were organised by GSA and Fix Photography Collective  to coincide with COP26 in Glasgow. The series of events expanded a dialogue around issues of sustainability and offered an opportunity to establish a space for conversation, participation and support which offers alternative methods of co-creation in an ecological crisis.
