CLIMATE CHANGE
COMMISSION SHOWCASE
Project Summary
Scene Stirling has commissioned five creatives to lead the city’s artistic response to the climate crisis. Our creative cohort worked together on a joint Stirling-based project, combining their artistic talents to create a series of connected and collaborative artworks that inspire climate action as a response to COP26.
The Climate Change COP26 Commissions cohort is represented by filmmaker Sean Hall, performance artists Kate Clayton and David Sherry, musician Rory Green and poet Ojo Taiye.
The cohort’s online showcase ‘Creative Ecosystems’ will launch on Thursday 12th May 2022 at 6 pm alongside an exhibition at the Tolbooth, in Stirling, featuring a selection of the work included on the micro-site. Exhibitions details here.
Meet the CLIMATE CHANGE COHORT
Kate Clayton
Kate Clayton is a Glasgow-based performance artist who practices under the banner of ‘Not Dead Yet.’ The main focus of her work is the visibility of older women, particularly the over-60s. In her experience, every collaboration presents different challenges and opportunities, a situation she embraces.
Ojo Taiye
Ojo Taiye is a young Nigerian artist who uses poetry as a tool to hide his frustration with society. He aims to amplify the experiences of minorities, creating greater awareness of the issues they face with regards to climate change, sustainability and social justice.
Sean Hall
Sean Hall is a Stirling based filmmaker interested in exploring how film can help us encounter ideas and feelings which often defy language and are not easily pinned down. He hopes to unearth new ways to look at climate change, a subject which he believes is often difficult to take in all at once.
David Hugh Sherry
David Sherry is a Northern Irish artist, best known for his performance art. He uses humour and familiar experiences to connect with audiences and is interested in the conflict of interests around climate change and the capitalist mindset.
Rory Green
Rory Green is an electronic musician and sound artist from Glasgow interested in creating sounds with multiple layers of interpretation. He’ll employ his talents to create experimental, ambient music to accompany and magnify the project’s final artworks.
