Event Description

As the climate crisis deepens, it becomes ever more urgent to ask: Who bears the burden? Who holds the wisdom?

This year’s Environment Day programming centres on the people at the frontlines of ecological change, communities whose lives are entangled with the land, the waters, and the skies, and who carry not only the weight of loss but also the seeds of resilience.

Rather than viewing the environment as separate from society, we listen to stories where the two are inseparable. From fisherwomen on the coast to forest guardians, waste workers, farmers, and displaced families, the day invites us to witness, to engage, and to reimagine a just, inclusive response to ecological breakdown.

Through performances, conversations, and hands-on workshops, we explore not only what is vanishing, but what must be protected, restored, and re-rooted.
