A State of Flow: Can Arts And Culture Immerse Water In The Sustainability Agenda

  UCL-Chatham House Grand Challenges kick-off workshop

 

About this Event

In collaboration with The London Museum of Water & Steam and Be Better Sustainability we will discuss the next frontier of sustainability – water!

Bringing together experts in water, sustainability, art and culture this panel discussion will explore the complexities of sustainability through the lens of water. Pulling on the threads of a necessary re-Renaissance in thinking to intertwine the science with the artists and storytellers who can mobilise the paradigm shift in thinking more broadly.

Water offers us a cultural, spiritual and daily urgency that provides a sustainable development context to explore equity, innovation, culture and planetary boundaries.

Water is the identifiable connection as it flows through the, often siloed, pillars of sustainability. Biodiversity, carbon, humanity and economy all rely on available water but the assumption around this is increasingly challenged by climate, urbanisation and contemporary industry.

The London Museum of Water and Steam provides a stunning backdrop that enables us to stand on the shoulders of our industrial past to forge forward in the new revolution.
