| Explore climate crisis-inspired art at the Southbank Centre 'Caring is a form of resistance'. That's according to Nigerian visual artist Otobong Nkanga, whose work features in the Hayward Gallery's summer group show, Dear Earth. Her suggestion is the inspiration behind this pioneering exhibition, which highlights the ways in which art can reframe our responses to the climate crisis. Dear Earth brings together 15 artists from around the world, including Agnes Denes, Imani Jacqueline Brown, Aluiay Kaumakan, and Richard Moss, to name but a few. It aims to promote empathy, with works in a variety of media that highlight the devastating human cost of climate change. But there's plenty of joy and hope here, too — as our emotional connection to the natural world is celebrated. The exhibition is on right now and runs until 3 September. Standard tickets start at £15, or £6 for Under 30s and Lambeth residents, and Southbank Centre members can see it for free. So can Under 12s, making it a great value school holiday treat. What's more, on top of the huge variety of artworks inside the gallery, there are free outdoor ones to discover, too — find them dotted around the Southbank Centre. And that's not all: Dear Earth is the centrepiece of Planet Summer, a season of events at the Southbank Centre centred on climate care.
