This series of events and performances aims to explore the impact of academic dialogues on the arts, particularly in relation to the topic of climate change, in both Viet Nam and the UK.
Audiences are invited to witness and take part in these discussions between academics and artists about the interplay between creative practices, cultural heritage and the environment.
These sessions will raise awareness of the challenges facing artists and researchers interested in engaging with environmental issues and will spotlight innovative forms of contemporary music and artistic expression.
