Faces and Threads is a new project transforming research on climate change debates into art co-created with communities.
Community arts and politics workshops
You’re invited to join this free workshop as part of a public research project about online climate debates.
We will begin with a relaxed group chat about the kinds of images and posts we see online every day. Then we’ll create artworks together using paint, paper cuts, stencils, markers, and canvas.
No art experience needed. All materials provided.

About the Project: Faces and Threads is a new project transforming research on climate change debates into art co-created with communities. Working with an artist, curator, and two community art spaces in Manchester and Leeds, the project captures the emotions behind online climate controversies often shaped by social media influencers. Together with marginalised groups frequently targeted by misinformation, the project creates and exhibits an installation that turns complex digital debates into tangible experiences. Local residents will be invited to take part in facilitated events, sharing their perspectives and contributing to analysis. Through collaboration, art becomes a space for dialogue, resilience, and community voice.
Funded by the University of Leeds.
