Cock and Bull is a performance piece by Nic Green with Laura Bradshaw & Rosana Cade taking place on Sunday 6 December @ 3:00 – 4:00 pm, at the CCA in Glasgow. It’s part of the ArtCOP Scotland programme of performances, exhibitions, talks (including Beautiful Renewables with the Land Art Generator Initiative on 18 November).
Halfway through the UN COP21 climate change talks in Paris, three females convene to perform their own, alternative conference of parties. Exploring power, voice, agency and sustainability they use the most heard phrases from governmental rhetoric, to dismantle and redress dominant paradigms of power and politics.
The UN Climate Change COP meetings are arguably the most important international events since those equivalent meetings about nuclear weapons that occurred in the 80s, but this time instead of just a few ‘major powers’, everyone is there, and the small countries and fringe programmes are significant too.
The French environment and arts organisation COAL have co-ordinated events in Paris, and Creative Carbon Scotland working with a consortium of other arts organisations in Scotland (including from the North East Deveron Arts and South West The Stove Network, as well as Gayfield, Firefly, Lifecycle of Stuff and the Royal Conservatoire) are mounting a programme in Scotland – you can find all the details on the ArtCOP Scotland website.
