What is Gaia Project?
Founded in 2008 by visual artist and independent curator James Brady, Gaia Project is a new independent artist-led, cross-disciplinary environmental arts organisation that embodies a creative response to the challenges that climate change presents in the 21st century. Drawing inspiration from the Deep Ecology movement we are committed to promoting a wider cultural awareness and understanding of the holistic inter-relationship between the visual arts, human activity and the natural environment. What makes Gaia Project unique is that (unlike a number of UK based environmental arts organisations) our scope to take action is not international but rather much more ‘grass roots’ and closely focussed, on that of the British Isles – our homeland. Through the co-ordination of site-specific cross-disciplinary visual arts projects, Gaia Project works exclusively with artists who live and work in the United Kingdom and who share an active concern for climate change, ecology and sustainability thro
