Art and climate change – re-imagining a global future through dialogue and action http://tippingpointaustralia.com
TippingPoint Australia incorporated in 2011 following a series of forums in Melbourne (Malthouse), Sydney (Performance Space) and Brisbane (The Edge) in 2010. We are acknowledged as a leading arts and sustainability agency working in partnership and in collaboration. TippingPoint Australia is a not for profit incorporated association. We convene TippingPoint Australia gatherings where artists connect with scientists, economists, politicians and activists on climate change and support them to imagine and plan artist responses. We lead and facilitate workshops, hackathons and labs with schools, organisations and with different sectors ( eg arts and science). We take opportunities to work with artists and funders to create, develop and promote art projects (the climate commissions) that expand community understanding of, and response to, climate change. TippingPoint Australia is a sister partner of TippingPoint, a UK-based network organisation.
