Adapt Transform<\/em> reminds us of the importance of thinking creatively in response to the climate crisis. Green Arts Oxfordshire Network<\/a> exists to unite Oxfordshire’s artists and cultural organisations in their work to tackle the climate and ecological emergency. Art Can Save The World<\/em> (2022) is a creative display of community participation from a Green Arts Oxfordshire Network event that took place in 2022, inviting us to consider how collective action can spark creative projects in response to the climate crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark James, The Campus<\/em>, 1996. Adapt Transform<\/em>, installation view at Modern Art Oxford, 2022. Photo by Ben Westoby<\/sup><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Mark James, is an ecologically minded artist who presents a series of environmentally themed works for Adapt Transform<\/em>. The Campus<\/em> (1996) is a painting described by James as an \u201cinfinite multiverse, and also an ideal,\u201d where it depicts an otherworldly scene where architecture harmoniously fuses with nature. New works 12 Haumeas <\/em>and IMGHaumea (both from 2022) explore innovative maritime responses to our rising sea levels, where James\u2019 own catamaran design including features such as, \u201ca large deck area for solar cells,\u201d and the potential for \u201c(ecological) travel without using fuel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also featured are The Urban Nature Lab, an Oxford-based group of environmental scientists, engineers and consultants working on projects to plan, design and deliver nature-based urban design solutions. Visitors to Adapt Transform<\/em> can view the work Lego Flood Model <\/em>(2018), a large physical flood model of the city of Oxford. The Lab explains how they regularly use the Lego model as a game to engage with school children, who discuss urban flood management action as the lego structure is gradually flooded with running water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oxford Brookes University BA Fine Art student, Ash Goller presents Shifting towards Sharing with The Artisan Swap Shop<\/em> (2022), an inspiring project designed to reduce waste and carbon emissions during a global climate emergency. Displayed in Adapt Transform<\/em> in the form of twelve hanging banners made from recycled materials, the work prompts us to think about the ways we can use our creativity to help through the sharing and reusing of materials, and the creation of a circular economy among fellow students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Environmental works like these inspire us to think, learn and act more creatively in response to the climate crisis. In the words of Green Arts Oxfordshire Network, together the works aim to explore how we might move from climate \u201canxiety and denial to optimism and activism.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
