Join us to explore the intersection of climate and migrant justice through art and culture.

We will platform examples of intersectional justice in practice, hearing from cultural organisations which hold spaces of welcome, support and opportunity for forcibly displaced people. The event will also platform international artists and producers who centre lived experience of climate-linked migration and who challenge alarmist rhetoric. This online session will offer time and community, to reflect on how intersectional justice can be embedded within your own work and to forge new connections. The Green Tease will start with an introduction focused on the relationship between climate and migrant justice led by Fahmida Miah. Next, we’ll hear three inspiring case studies of intersectional justice in practice from MoYah from May Project Gardens, D6: Culture in Transit and Glasgow Women’s Library. Find out more about our collaborators below.

Attendees will then join one of four facilitated discussions exploring:

1. How we make sense of the climate-migration intersection (Climate Outreach)
2. Creative programming at the intersection (D6: Culture in Transit)
3. Intersectional operations and ethics (Glasgow Women’s Library and Culture for Climate Scotland)
4. Centring lived experience and leadership (MoYah and City of Sanctuary UK)

The event will conclude with dedicated time to consider, discuss and share what actions we can take to address the intersection of climate and migrant justice in our own work.
