Climate Change Couture on El Periódico

One of my projects is on this list of artists working on the climate crisis in El Periódico, a daily newspaper based in Barcelona, Spain. ‘Climate Change Couture’ was a series I started in Singapore in 2013, collaborating with sustainability researchers as an artist-in-residence at Singapore-ETH Centre to co-create garments we might wear under various climate futures. I’m honoured to be on a list of artists I admire, such as Olafur Eliasson (I cited his and Minik Rosing’s work, ‘Ice Watch’, in my PhD), Ai Weiwei, and others. Most importantly, I consider this a full circle moment, because back when I used to live in Barcelona for art school, I would read El Periódico to improve my Spanish. Reading this today made me smile — because I understood the text. Gracias!
