Working with artist Parham Ghalamdar, curator Chris Bailkoski of Proforma, and Longsight Art Space and Basement Arts Project, two community art spaces in Manchester and Leeds, the project captures the emotions and experiences of communities' engagement with online climate controversies. Together with marginalised groups frequently targeted by misinformation, the project creates and exhibits an installation that turns complex digital debates into tangible experiences. Local residents take part in facilitated events, sharing their perspectives and contributing to analysis. Through collaboration, art becomes a space for dialogue, resilience, and community voice.
