Cape Farewell, UK
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cape Farewell brings artists, scientists and educators together to bring about long-term change in cultural attitudes towards climate change.
Created by artist David Buckland in 2001, Cape Farewell has lead five expeditions to the High Arctic, the frontline of climate change including their first youth expedition in September 2007. From these expeditions has sprung an extraordinary body of artwork:
- A film co-produced by the BBC Art from a Changing Arctic
- Cape Farewell’s first major book title Burning Ice
- The CD ARCTIC by Max Eastley [1]
- Educational resources for GCSE Geography and Science
- A UN award-winning website
The project is widely acknowledged[who?] to be the most significant sustained artistic response to climate change anywhere in the world.
