Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This paper follows a practice-led methodology to explore how the diverse participants in the 'Performing the Future' project - including scientists working with climate models and over-60s groups in Liverpool and Cambridge - mediated their sense of risk and uncertainty in response to environmental change. We explore the nature of their participation and the different strategies used by the artists leading the project, describing the opportunities that emerged for more nuanced and complex visions of the realities of anthropogenic environmental change, and how we might respond to the impacts of these changes.
