ACFA

A Climate for Art (ACFA) is an organisation that unifies the arts around the issue of our changing climate through divestment practices and community building. We see the climate crisis as a cultural crisis that requires a cultural response.

With a focus on financed emissions – banking and superannuation – ACFA is focused on collectivising our response through tangible actions, building a coalition of over 25 small to medium arts organisations, as well as growing critical climate dialogues through a community of practice, built from an ongoing series of events, creative projects and gatherings.

In development is an exciting series of podcasts with Australian and UK artists in the lead up to COP31, supported by the British Council.

  • Our ACFA members are people and organisations who have divested or are working towards divesting their banking, superannuation and power companies to cleaner alternatives.

  • The ACFA symposium aims to build relationships and extend a vocabulary around how culture underpins the climate crisis and how culture is in turn affected by environmental imbalance. Listen back to the session on our Mixcloud here.

  • These are resources to make your critical path to divestment easier. You’re welcome to use and edit any of the templates - and please let us know if you have any suggestions for anything that would be helpful to you.
