| Sector | Charity/Non Profit |
| PI Contribution | The Climate Action Week Artist Residency was a 10-day artist residency that I completed during Climate Week North East 2019 (15 - 24 March 2019). It was developed as a partnership project between Aberdeen Performing Arts (APA), Creative Carbon Scotland (CCS) and the James Hutton Institute (JHI) with the aim of identifying ways in which the three organisations might work together around issues of climate change. As part of the residency, I spent one week in residency at the James Hutton Institute and interviewed 30 of their staff over four days, 10% of all staff working at the Aberdeen site, as well as accessing a number of their archives, collections, and workshops. In the second week, I met with staff at both Aberdeen Performing Arts and Creative Carbon Scotland, and spent two days completing a report outlining the key themes that emerged during the residency and observations from spending time with staff. These were: the challenges of interdisciplinary working; the alignment of individual ethics with organisational practice; the experience of grief in climate change research; and the under-narration of the wider climate change narratives in climate-focused work. |
| Collaborator Contribution | James Hutton Institute supported the project through hosting the residency, providing a workspace, meetings with staff, introductions to their current research focuses, and tours of facilities. Aberdeen Performing Arts contributed 50% of the funds for the project, and supported the artistic development. Creative Carbon Scotland contributed 50% of the funds for the project and provided follow up developmental support. |

| Primary Audience | Public/other audiences |
| Results and Impact | I was commissioned by Lux Scotland to programme a screening of artist moving image works as part of their collaboration with Eden Court in Inverness. The resulting programme, Love and the Ocean, brought together works in which the push and pull of tides overlapped with emotional currents of desire and longing. Though varied in their subjects and approaches, the works in the programme shared an interest in the sea as a site of human wants and wishes, and made visible the structures and systems that support these, from container ships and fishing vessels, to magic and belief. Twenty people attended the event. As part of the programming role, I wrote a introductory text and hosted a discussion after the screening. |
