Climate is Culture - where creativity shapes our ecological future

Cape Farewell acts as a catalyst, producing opportunities for artists, scientists and communities to work together. By creating art founded in scientific fact, our projects highlight humanity’s destructive impact on the earth and inspire people to act towards a sustainable cultural shift.

Cape Farewell could not exist without the support of the people who love our work. Every gift, however large or small, makes a big difference to us.
