🌍 The Memoirs of a Changing Climate — A Creative Encounter Between Art and Sustainability
In a world grappling with the harsh realities of climate change, a new kind of storytelling is emerging — one that gives the Earth its own voice. The Memoirs of a Changing Climate, with Tovia Omoijahe, invites participants to experience a breathtaking fusion of creativity and sustainability, where art becomes the autobiography of our planet.
This thought-provoking two-part event, hosted at the University of Bradford, seeks to ignite conversations around how humanity and the environment coexist — and how our choices today shape tomorrow’s climate narrative.
The Climate as Storyteller – 29th October 2025 (4–6 PM)
📍 Activities Room, University of Bradford
The opening session, “The Climate as Storyteller,” sets the stage for a profound journey through the lens of creativity. Here, the climate itself is imagined as the narrator — a sentient force recounting its memories, joys, and scars. Through poetic performances, visual art, and discussions, attendees will explore how the Earth might tell its story if it could speak.
This session isn’t just an art showcase; it’s a moment of reflection. It urges us to listen — not only to the warnings of scientists but also to the silent cry of nature itself.
The Memoirs’ Seminar – 31st October 2025 (4–6 PM)
📍 Small Hall, University of Bradford
The second event, “The Memoirs’ Seminar,” takes a more interactive approach. Participants, artists, scholars, and sustainability advocates will come together to dissect and discuss the narratives presented earlier. The seminar aims to bridge the gap between creativity and climate action, showing how storytelling can influence policy, inspire change, and empower communities to act sustainably.
It’s not just about what the Earth remembers — it’s about what we choose to remember and do differently.
A Celebration of Collaboration and Purpose
The Memoirs of a Changing Climate is proudly supported by:

Why This Matters
As global temperatures rise and ecosystems transform, conversations about sustainability must evolve beyond data and statistics. This event challenges us to connect emotionally with the planet — to feel the urgency through color, sound, and expression.
By intertwining art and environmental consciousness, The Memoirs of a Changing Climate redefines what it means to advocate for change. It’s not merely a seminar or an exhibition — it’s a call to empathy, creativity, and responsibility.
