Sunlight Doesn’t Need a Pipeline is a collaborative literacy and climate justice project in search of transformative and regenerative repair. A coalition of art workers, agitators, dream weavers, growers and caregivers have co-created a holistic and ever-growing decarbonisation plan for the art sector and beyond.

Through collective study our coalition asks questions such as: How can intergenerational wealth help communities in the face of Climate Change? What would it mean if we took museums “to the orchards”? What configurations of life are possible after restitution? Is it possible to replace carbon literacy with love? Together we call for solutions to the climate crisis that not only reduce emissions but create a fairer and more just world in the process.
