Arts & Heritage Towards Climate Justice

Talk by Sue Jane Taylor

Organised by Timespan Museum, Helmsdale. Details and bookings from their website.

Artist Sue Jane Taylor has spent over three decades documenting the lives of offshore workers and the changing landscapes of the North Sea. In this talk, she will share how her artistic practice captures the human and environmental stories of oil, gas, and renewables. She will reflect on how art and heritage can help us understand the legacy of fossil fuels and imagine a fairer transition towards sustainable futures

Part of HERITALISE, a major Horizon Europe project exploring the future of digital heritage and rethinking the role of heritage in today’s digital challenges.  While the consortium gathers in Helmsdale for three days of working sessions, on the 8th and 9th of October Timespan is hosting a free public programme of talks, a field visit to the Flow Country UNESCO World Heritage Site, and an evening of food and music. These events invite local communities and visitors to join the conversation and experience how heritage can be mobilised for truth-telling, climate justice, and collective imagination.
