Brian Eno and Donna Grantis: Arts’ Role in the Climate Crisis
Join The Great Northern for a conversation between Brian Eno and EarthPercent member and Canadian guitarist Donna Grantis (Prince, 3rdeyegirl) as they grapple with this moment and the arts’ role in tackling climate change.British musician, producer, and artist Brian Eno is a fierce advocate for our collective future in the midst of climate change.
Eno recently shared with Pitchfork, “I’m more and more convinced that our only hope of saving our planet is if we begin to have different feelings about it: perhaps if we became re-enchanted by the amazing improbability of life; perhaps if we suffered regret and even shame at what we’ve already lost; perhaps if we felt exhilarated by the challenges we face and what might yet become possible. Briefly, we need to fall in love again, but this time with Nature, with Civilisation and with our hopes for the future.”
He founded EarthPercent to direct funding to the frontlines of climate justice while reducing the environmental impact of the music industry as a way for artists and music organizations to pledge a percentage of their income to support combating the climate crisis.
