Cultural Response
Through a dynamic programme of events, workshops and collaborative projects, ACFA brings together participants from diverse backgrounds and disciplines to deepen critical climate dialogue and encourage collective action. Our cultural responses aim to facilitate and inspire new strategies, build tangible know-how and strengthen our community’s capacity to drive meaningful change.
Symposium
In February 2025, in partnership with Next Wave, City of Melbourne and George Paton Gallery, we held a symposium which aimed to build relationships and extend a vocabulary around how culture underpins the climate crisis.
We brought together a range of speakers to survey past and current key projects, ongoing practices, and thinkers from the arts, academia, activism and climate campaigning.
Through spaces for listening, learning and talking together, ACFA aims to strengthen and grow a community of practice to better inform what the next steps towards climate in the arts should be.
