A Greener Picture (2021)

In May 2021, 15 primary schools across Wandsworth participated in A Greener Picture: Photography and Climate Change, a collaboration between Wandsworth Council’s Arts Service and the Royal College of Art.

The project aimed to inspire climate change awareness through the use of photography. Workshops were delivered by four recent graduates from the Royal College of Art’s Photography Programme. The sessions examined and explored our relationship to the natural world and how photography can help us change the way we see things and communicate issues.

670 pupils aged between 8–11 worked individually and collectively to create sculptures and cyanotypes which they then photographed.

We have set ourselves ambitious targets of becoming carbon neutral by 2030. This project was part of the council's conversations with the wider community to identify how we combat climate change.
