For the series ‘Creating Change, Decade of Change’ I was featured in the British Journal of Photography with an interview by Jamila Prowse. I discussed my research and arts practice, through examples in my long term curatorial practice under the name ‘Worm: art + ecology’ (2014-2021); engagements like workshop with publics as a form of climate communication, and recent research-arts project like ‘Rain Paradox’ (2021). I described my methods of approach, such as through the colonial history of climate change and amplifying counternarratives as a decolonial tool. I also critiqued the trend of co-opting climate arts in the secotr by institutions and pratitioners, and what it may take to be an arts sector more aligned to climate justice.
