No Planet B Initiative

No Planet B is a digital platform dedicated to raising awareness about the climate emergency and ecological crisis through a combination of visual art, documentary storytelling, and activism. The site curates a range of projects that document the impacts of environmental degradation, climate change, and extractive industries on communities around the world. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of ecological destruction and social justice issues by providing narratives from frontline communities and marginalized groups affected by environmental policies and industrial practices. The platform functions as a resource hub that brings together interdisciplinary approaches, including photography, video, and sound, to convey the urgency of the planetary crisis. It features work by artists, filmmakers, and researchers who engage with themes of resistance, land rights, and sustainability. By situating individual stories within larger systemic issues, the site facilitates a deeper understanding of the complexities driving environmental harm and the grassroots movements seeking transformative change.

September 2021, a group of ordinary people set off on an extraordinary odyssey: walking 500 miles along the UK, creating perfromance art along the way, reaching Glasgow exactly as delegates and world leaders arrive in the city for COP26.

In September 2021 a group of ordinary people set off on an extraordinary odyssey: walking 500 miles along the UK, reaching Glasgow exactly as delegates and world leaders arrive in the city for the UN Climate Change Conference.

At this time of unique peril for our planet and all its inhabitants we deeply connected with and listened to the land we travelled through, the species we encountered on the way and the communities we met living along the route. Our walk was a uniquely hopeful, creative and reverential kind of activism.

pedestrian acts

By de Certeau: In “Walking in the City”, de Certeau conceives pedestrianism as a practice that is performed in the public space, whose architecture and behavioural habits substantially determine the way we walk. For de Certeau, the spatial order “organises an ensemble of possibilities (e.g. by a place in which one can move) and interdictions (e.g. by a wall that prevents one from going further)” and the walker “actualises some of these possibilities” by performing within its rules and limitations. “In that way,” says de Certeau, “he makes them exist as well as emerge.” Thus, pedestrians, as they walk conforming to the possibilities that are brought about by the spatial order of the city, constantly repeat and re-produce that spatial order, in a way ensuring its continuity. But, a pedestrian could also invent other possibilities. According to de Certeau, “the crossing, drifting away, or improvisation of walking privilege, transform or abandon spatial elements.” Hence, the pedestrians could, to a certain extent, elude the discipline of the spatial order of the city. Instead of repeating and re-producing the possibilities that are allowed, they can deviate, digress, drift away, depart, contravene, disrupt, subvert, or resist them. These acts, as he calls them, are pedestrian acts.
