about ark bradford
Ark is an artist-led community engagement project focused on climate change. It aims to start a conversation in Bradford where participants can safely explore their hopes, fears, and solutions to the ecological crisis.
Ark uses conversation to challenge fixed and often abstract ideas about climate change. It believes that through conversation, we can foster relationships, build solidarity, and create a strong foundation for taking meaningful action in our local community.
'Ark Bradford: Move' is funded by the Active Travel Research Group at Sheffield Hallam University.
