<title>Mediating Change workshop - Culture, politics and climate change</title>
<link>http://stadium.open.ac.uk/webcast-ou/</link>
<description><![CDATA[
	Senior figures in the science and policy community have summoned &#39;culture&#39; to support action on climate change. Some view the arts and humanities as a kind of communications finishing school for the outputs of the climate change research and policy community - a cultural lubricant that might fix public and political apathy or opposition. To which some have replied &#39;be careful what you wish for&#39;. The workshop will explore some of the questions, dilemmas and direct challenges that can be posed by artistic work on climate change.

	Contributors to the workshop include:

	
		Kevin Smith&nbsp;from the arts and activist organisation Platform. Kevin has led their campaigns against the oil industry&#39;s sponsorship of the arts
		
			&nbsp;
	
	
		Kellie Payne, a PhD student on culture and climate change, will talk about the intense cultural activity that paralleled the peak of international political negotiations at COP15 in 2009
		
			&nbsp;
	
	
		Robert Butler, Editor of the Economist Magazine&#39;s Intelligent Life Online, who has also led the Ashden Trust&#39;s work on culture and climate change, particularly theatre, since the mid 1990s
		
			&nbsp;
	
	
		Mike Perry&nbsp;is a&nbsp;photographer. Increasingly his landscapes contain&nbsp;an underlying environmental narrative behind his painterly surfaces. His latest show, M&ocirc;r Plastig, takes a forensic look at plastic detritus washed up on the west coast of Waleswhere he now lives and works.
