    Tonnes of carbon… installed in Meadowbank for Edinburgh Art Festival in 2020

    Tonnes of carbon produced by the personal transportation of a ‘professional artist’

    This graph was first compiled as the central illustration of Harrison’s 2019 book The Glasgow Effect: A Tale of Class, Capitalism & Carbon Footprint to illustrate the artist’s increasing amount of travel in the years running up to her 2016 project and the dramatic impact it had on reducing her carbon footprint for transport. It was updated in 2020 for display at Edinburgh Art Festival.

Today my dream of Bus Regulation became a reality! 🥰 💕 After years of campaigning by Better Buses for Greater Manchester, the Mayor of Greater Manchester finally announced that he would stand up to the profiteering private bus companies, and commit to re-regulating the region's bus network to deliver an integrated and affordable service which puts passengers first 🚍🚇🚆 Why not celebrate this evening by watching the Musical? We did it ✊ #ActivismWorks ... See MoreSee Less
