Overview

Harun Morrison has invited a range of people including activists, writers, artworkers, theorists, architects, chefs, natural historians and horticulturalists to propose a question relating to environmental justice that can stimulate conversation.

Take part in the conversation and join us for a workshop, led by Harun that will involve a series of small-group discussions around chosen questions from his ongoing project, Environmental Justice Questions, 2023–ongoing. These will be followed by a larger group discussion. This event is part of the associated programme for our exhibition, ‘Storm Warning, what does climate change mean for coastal communities.’
