ClimArts Connect:

Incubator

ClimArts Connect is our Incubator

where select artists from our upskilling programs are nurtured over a one-year journey to create a portfolio of climate-themed, solutions-focused art. On occasion, experts approach us to lean into storytelling to communicate their insights. We then work with them to find a suitable artist from our community.

The incubator program includes personalized coaching, collaboration opportunities with experts, research in specific areas of climate change, and training in areas like social media and branding. The program's goal is to foster solutions-focused storytelling through art. Each artist's experience is tailored to their chosen climate topic and artistic medium.

The approach allows for a diverse range of artistic expressions and educational journeys within the framework of the incubator.

Two performing artists going through ClimArts Connect in 2024-25 are:

Ann Wall

Ann is a ballet dancer working on a ClimArts story about coral bleaching in collaboration with experts from OCEAN UNI

Sakdiyah Ma'ruf

Sakdiyah is a stand-up comedian exploring projects with Inside The Greenhouse and on air pollution with CSTEP, a think tank in India

Stay tuned as more artists are upskilled through our various programs, and more experts lean into creative storytelling to communicate their insights.
