Artivism for Conservation

When we talk about climate solutions, we often focus on numbers, technologies, and laws. But what about stories, emotions, and imagination? Today on the show, we’re talking about art and activism - or artivism - a creative, collaborative approach to reimagining our environmental future. Joining us to shed more light on this are Dr Thomas Smith, Dr Felicia Liu, and Jakob van Klang - academics, artists, and organisers behind a Malaysia-based initiative exploring how art can open hearts, minds, and maybe even doors to real-world change.
