LIVE + BREATHE: Climate Futures Marketplace
Hear from local voices and explore how positive climate action can be collectively joyful at a day of celebration, culture and community, hosted by Love Ssega.
Creativity, climate and collectivity come together for a fun and inspiring afternoon of exploration platforming local voices, hosted by artist and performer Love Ssega.
Find out how LIVE + BREATHE champions climate action through local Black voices, celebrating clean air wins and solidarity. Hear from local voices from Southwark and Lambeth showing that there is space for environmental activism to take alternative forms than just despair and hopelessness.
Plus, uncover the future of creativity and how it can build a climate resilient future with collaborations from students from the London College of Communication.
Originating from south London, LIVE + BREATHE is a collective and coalition of artists, activists, influencers and creatives, united in the fight for universal and equitable right to clean air. Founded by Love Ssega, they are a Black-led climate and social justice organisation using an arts-led approach to advocate for climate action, racial and social justice, and to ensure that underrepresented voices are heard.
