CLIMATE CHANGING MEDIA is an undergraduate media studio that invites media creatives to respond to the current ecological crises through an engagement with and analysis of critical issues (practical and theoretical) facing climate media makers.
The studio is centred around a key prompt: how might climate media be both political and poetic?
STUDIO LEADER: Elaine (Si) Leong (she/her) is a writer-researcher and media creative based in Birraranga (Melbourne). She has taught literature, philosophy, and digital media courses in the School of Media and Communications at RMIT. Her research investigates the relationships between climate change media, human, and more-than-human ecologies; and is particularly interested in charting the impacts that radical mediations of ecological disasters have on collective attitudes towards marginalised (inc. nonhuman) experiences of global warming.
