Make New Work

What are the provocations?

Artists are asked to select one provocation to base their idea around. They are intended to be starting points for creative ideas -we are not looking for literal interpretations

#Climate

I couldn’t care less. It’s God’s will! I do my bit. Did you know the concept of your personal carbon footprint was invented by Shell to pass responsibility onto the individual? I don’t recycle, I’m sorry but what’s the point. If I had all of the money in the world, I would use it to find a way to take all of the plastic out of the ocean. I would move us to another planet so we can start again. It’s evolution simple as that. It’s too late now. The protestors are going too far blocking the M25. The government does nothing. It’s time for action. Would women have gotten the vote if the suffragettes hadn’t blown shit up? How come the kids understand this better than the adults? This is a climate emergency.
