The intensive creative laboratory/retreat was facilitated by Angharad Wynne-Jones, Matt Wicking and David Finnigan from TippingPoint Australia, with local hosts Artist as Family. The event included daily guided sessions, workshops, site visits and food gathering and preparation experiences. Participants also contributed a session or workshop to the creative lab program to share artist ideas and develop new collaborations.

Climate change is daunting. We have mostly agreed that it’s happening. But it’s big and what can we do about it anyway? What about cyclone-powered electricity grids? Or lightning-run barbecues? Or dog saliva showers? Can we build a machine to fix it? We need to work together but how do you encourage cooperation? These are some of the ingenious ideas Year 5 children from Milton State School in Brisbane suggested when we asked them to come up with creative solutions to climate change. The children’s artwork responses are sure to surprise and amaze you.
