Crash Culture

Want to find out more about climate justice? Don't feel like you belong within climate activism because of your race or class? In the third and final episode of Crash Culture season 1, we talk to Farah Ahmed, the climate justice lead at Julie’s Bicycle. We discuss how you can get involved with climate activism, and why if you're from a marginalised group you deserve to feel most empowered to talk about climate issues.

You can find resources on how to make your creative practice more environmentally sustainable here
