    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.

    As part of Panic! It’s an Arts Emergency Harrison was commissioned to make a new work using their research into inequality in the arts as a starting point. In April 2018, Harrison invited 50 participants from the Creative & Cultural Industries and beyond to take part in a Power & Privilege Workshop in London, to explore how these hidden forces in society affect all our lives.

Here's a little project I've been working on this year during lockdown - compiling a comprehensive Bibliography for my book 'The Glasgow Effect: A Tale of Class, Capitalism & Carbon Footprint', which was published by Luath Press in November 2019 📚🤓 The book itself has Endnotes, but no Bibliography, so I thought it would useful to draw together all the resources referenced in one alphabetical list, including links to those available online. ...

Brilliant news about the Divest Dundee campaign today! 🤩 Ive been campaigning for more than five years to get my workplace - the University of Dundee - to commit to divesting its endowment from fossil fuel companies. Today they finally did it! Thanks to People & Planet and to Hannah Feuerstein and all the brilliant students who have helped pile the pressure on!
