ArtsAdmin's Two Degrees Festival - 17 - 22 June:
climate, consumerism and community

Climate, consumerism, community ... Two Degrees asks what is broken in our world and what can we do to mend it?

Arts Admin's third Two Degrees festival sits somewhere between art and action offering audiences a chance to take part and think about how we can change our future.

Events include:

    Oil City, a site-specific, immersive spy thriller by Platform, venturing deep into the underbelly of London’s oil economy. Performed three times a day from 10 - 21 June

    Worktable by Kate Mcintosh, in which everyday objects are disassembled and reassembled

    7 Promises by Davis Freeman in which participants make their own public commitment to help prevent climate change

    Worldstrike! A Daily Briefing by The Stirling Cafe

    Change the Record!, Kamala Katbamna and a choir made up of people who work, live and play in the area around Commercial Street will take audiences on a tour of their East End

    Land Shift, poet Tom Chivers hosts an evening exploring shifting landscapes and alternative geographies in writings about place

    Read + Talk + Make: A Community Maker Model, Andrea Francke and residents from Glamis and St George’s Estates in Shadwell set up a community ‘maker space’

    A Show + Tell Salon On Systems, by Coney

    Museum of Water by Amy Sharrocks

    The Roadless Trip, a gameshow, performance and film by Sarah Woods

There is also Imagine the Great Transition, a day of talks, films and performances on 22 June, presented by Artsadmin and LIFT in association with nef (new economics foundation).
