Read our special focus on COP15 in Copenhagen, in collaboration with Culture|Futures.


Juhi Sareef, reporting from Copenhagen about COP15 and Culture|Futures, published a review of the launch of the symposium. Juhi's report highlights the key speeches of the opening days, illustrated by examples from the field.

Trevor Davies, director of Copenhagen International Theatre KIT, revealed that 12 biennale directors he talked to mentioned climate change / sustainability as key drivers. Moreover, the artists retain people's trust

Ong Ken-Sen, Artistic Director of Theatreworks (Singapore) suggested that artists are becoming climate change brand ambassadors.
