“Creative Climate Leadership means activating the potential of the arts to rehearse an alternative, climate positive future. It means being bold enough to lead that new conversation, as part of a network of creative change-makers. I want to make the space for HighTide to work with more innovation and care. And - crucially – to inspire change in our freelance artists, partners and audiences. Creative Climate Leadership is about being brave enough to start those ripple effects.”
