Two Degrees: Art, Activism and the Global Climate EmergencyTwo Degrees, the week-long program of work by radical and politically engaged artists about climate change and our relationship with the environment, begins tomorrow in London.

The full program [PDF] details several tracks to the event, including both paid and public events, ranging from interventions to picnics exploring food politics.

The C.R.A.S.H.: Culture track includes interventionist works from eight artists, including The Laboratory of Insurrectionary Imagination (seen previously on Groundswell here), as well as Enrico Centonze and Anke Trojan, Rebecca Beinart, and David Fryer.

All indoor events require booking through the Two Degrees website, and some performance locations are yet to be announced through their Twitter feed.
