“A ground-breaking project that encompasses a multitude of approaches from various experts.”

Modes of Climate Engagement
Amy Harris, Simon Fraser University

As Australia’s most ambitious climate-focused cultural project, 100 Climate Conversations showcases one hundred visionary Australians taking effective action to respond to climate change - the most critical issue of our time.

Hosted by some of Australia’s most respected journalists, the conversations cover farmers sequestering soil carbon; Traditional Owners managing Country through cultural burning; architects building carbon-neutral homes; and much more.

The one hundred conversations were recorded weekly at the Powerhouse museum in Sydney, requiring almost two years to complete.

Collaborating closely with the curator and exhibition designers, I creative-directed the visual presentation and recording of the conversations and co-designed the project’s large-scale video installation.

The multi-award-winning project now forms part of Powerhouse’s permanent collection as a time capsule for future generations to experience.
