Climate Justice Creative Suzanne Dhaliwal joins us as part of our #almanaccare series, sharing her wisdom and experience in using creative skills in support of environmental justice and indigenous rights. She speaks about the importance of intergenerational knowledge, long-term care and supporting existing struggles.
Suzanne Dhaliwal is a Climate Justice Creative, Campaigner, Researcher, Lecturer in Environmental Justice and Trainer in Creative Strategies for Decolonisation. In 2009 she co-founded the UK Tar Sands Network, which challenged BP and Shell investments in the Canadian tar sands in solidarity with frontline Indigenous communities, spurring the internationalisation of the fossil fuel divestment movement. Suzanne has led campaigns and artistic interventions to challenge fossil fuel investments in the Arctic and Nigeria that violate the rights of Indigenous peoples, and of those seeking justice in the wake of the BP Gulf of Mexico disaster. She has a Master of Arts in Social Sculpture in Oxford, developing creative strategies to address the lack of representation and on-going white supremacy in the climate justice movement. https://www.suzannedhaliwal.org/
The event has been organized by Astrid Korporaal.
The project is supported by Arts Council England Grants for the Arts.
