Extinction Rebellion: Art versus climate change

BBC World Service - The Cultural Frontline, Extinction Rebellion: Art versus climate change

How Extinction Rebellion and global artists are tackling climate change with art.

The Cultural Frontline speaks to artists tackling climate change and global environmental damage through their work.
 
It’s the protest movement that has hit the headlines and the streets around the world. Tina speaks to members of Extinction Rebellion about why the group place arts and culture at the centre of their actions.

Icelandic film director Benedikt Erlingson explains why he chose to tackle the thorny issue of the environmental impact of industry in a quirky, comic style in his critically acclaimed film Woman at War.

We step inside the art show devoted entirely to rubbish - Material Insanity. The BBC’s Lucy Ash speaks to the Kenyan artist Cyrus Kabiru about how he creates extraordinary art from very ordinary waste.

And what is 'Cli-Fi'? Literary journalist Amy Brady talks us through the increasingly popular genre of Climate Fiction.
