My Artivism Manifesto
- I declare that this is an Earth Crisis
- Creativity and culture can be a powerful adaptive and regenerative force
- Creativity enlivens the imagination and generates culture
- Artivism works for the liberation of culture
- I aim for culture change, a stretch beyond behaviour change
- Honour and uplift change-makers dismantling harmful structures
- If creativity is resourced and directed, it can do great things
- No individual can tackle the whole system alone, and collectives need sustenance

I'm working on a book The Artivist's Way, and Artivism is also a Module in the Earth Talk programme. The invitation is to create your own manifesto, for your own leaning to art, activism or the combo of the two. @bridget.earthtalk

The alarm we all got on our phone has triggered a lot of chat about how alarming this situation is, whether alarms are needed. I wish we’d had emergency declarations and alarms 40 years ago. Last night I was noodling on my guitar singing new lyrics to this Radiohead song. Thinking how I am alarmed but not surprised at how rapidly worse things are getting. This is a Transapocalypse - impacts crossing the Earth in unpredictable ways, including us in cooler climes. Anyway, I was literally singing these lyrics when the alarm started sounding. I whipped out in panic thinking my fences would be on fire like they were 2 months ago, and having seen nearby Mousehold Heath burning on the 13th August. I was safe for now but we’re generally not safe. We need alarms, and emergency plans & refugia, and we need to stop the proliferation of fossil fuels. And we need to talk about it so take a look at my Earth Talk programme on @bridget.earthtalk
