split off from the Reducing carbon won't stop climate change thread. david
It concerns me our cultural life seems blind to articulating either our fears or hopes for the future. Where are the songs and poems, where is the art? IPCC reports are just so much paper to most. Who is going to bring this alive? We have no Dylan (although Mark Edwards has brilliantly reinterpreted Hard Rain in photographs). Why the silence? Perhaps we should explore and document our personal motivations, inspirations and visions, on this site.





underground expression
shane
There is most definitely a wealth of expression of this kind but it is largely in the underground movements still. In 2003 i co-founded a London based organisation called http://creativeforum.org/ which was dedicated to providing a platform for people to use different art forms to express their position and visions etc. I think pop culture is too commercial nowerdays to allow money making artists to become too heavily involved.
