Flood.

The flood is coming...

for some,  it has happened...

for others, it is happening now...

what is ark?

ark is an artist-led community engagement project about climate change. It seeks to open-up a conversation in which participants can safely explore hopes, fears, and solutions to our ecological crisis. ark draws upon ‘conversation’ as a way of challenging fixed and often abstract understandings of climate change. It sees conversation as a way of fostering relationships, building solidarity, and creating an empowering basis for action that is relevant to our local context.

together in the city

Over the next few weeks we will be working with people across the city of Sheffield to speculate on how we may live together in the face of a planetary crisis that is collective, but unevenly experienced. How might we find ways not just to survive, but to thrive?  As part of this, we will co-host a series of shared meals that allow for conversation to grow and friendships to form. People will be invited to share the places they live, their hopes, fears, and strategies for creating a better world.

Conversations will ripple across the city.

We will imagine and build things together.

We will take things apart.

ark sheffield will culminate in a mass assembly at The Crucible on 6th April as part of Sheffield Theatres’ Together in the City. Voices will take to the stage, as we listen and travel with them into lives, find resonances, and weave together possibilities for being with one another…
