I’ll be speaking at Greenbelt Festival 2026 about the role artists and creatives can play in supporting the development of community energy projects.

Community energy is about much more than technology. It is about people, place, trust, imagination and participation. In this session, I’ll explore how creative practice can help communities engage with the energy transition in more meaningful, accessible and hopeful ways — opening up “many ways in” through storytelling, making, public art, facilitation and collective imagination.

I’ll also be running a deeper dive session for creatives who want to explore how their own practice might respond to the climate emergency. This will be a space to think together about what creativity can offer in a time of ecological and social change: not just as communication, but as a way of helping people feel, question, connect, grieve, imagine and act.

These sessions draw on my work as an artist, creative facilitator and cultural strategist working across creativity, ecology, participation and energy transition - including my experience with The Art and Energy Collective and Regen.

For: artists, makers, writers, facilitators, community organisers, energy practitioners and anyone curious about the role of creativity in climate action.
