Please Support Black Lives Matter Toronto

We’re taking a pause from our scheduled feed of projects, opportunities, and ideas about the intersection of sustainability and arts practice to direct your attention elsewhere on this Blackout Tuesday.

We don’t have a long statement. We don’t want to hold your attention while black lives are in true crisis.

We, instead, would like to encourage you to support Black Lives Matter in whatever way you can. We’re linking to BLM Toronto specifically for a host of reasons, but will just share this quote from a leader in that organizations:

” The root of my activism is to make changes to ensure an intersectional sustainable future, which means showing up for the communities that are the most vulnerable.”

Creative Carbon Scotland is a partnership of arts organisations working to put culture at the heart of a sustainable Scotland. We believe cultural and creative organisations have a significant influencing power to help shape a sustainable Scotland for the 21st century.

In 2011 we worked with partners Festivals Edinburgh, the Federation of Scottish Threatre and Scottish Contemporary Art Network to support over thirty arts organisations to operate more sustainably.

We are now building on these achievements and working with over 70 cultural organisations across Scotland in various key areas including carbon management, behavioural change and advocacy for sustainable practice in the arts.

Our work with cultural organisations is the first step towards a wider change. Cultural organisations can influence public behaviour and attitudes about climate change through:

Changing their own behaviour;
Communicating with their audiences;
Engaging the public’s emotions, values and ideas.
