Climates of Health: The Weather Inside Us

Climates of Health: The Weather Inside Us explores the connections between human well-being and our changing environment through the lens of the One Health framework. This exhibition uses creative practice and cross-cultural dialogue to confront urgent issues of climate anxiety, health equity, and sustainability. Bringing together the work of 13 artists and five academic researchers and collaborators over a two-year period, this project asks how visual arts can inspire action and foster long-term interdisciplinary resilience in the face of pressing environmental change.
