One Cell, The World
Climate Action Art & Research Catalogue
by
Pauline Sameshima
Around the world, individuals and groups are rallying to draw attention to the climate emergency. Lakehead University culminated a Year Of Climate Action (YOCA) in a showcase of events at their 2022 Research and Innovation Week. One Cell, The World is the resulting hybrid research-art catalogue with essays, poetry, art, videos, music, and more, from diverse communities on the climate crisis. One Cell, The World includes a keynote speech by Seth Klein on how we might mobilize climate action at a university level and essays as diverse as the role of salt in bio alcohols, to native species gardening. Select artworks respond to the floods in British Columbia, water resources in Lake Superior, and ocean surges in Ayetoro, Nigeria. A cello piece was created using NASA global climate data. Local and international, the selected works demonstrate the possibilities for what climate action can look like. They contain insights and inspiration for climate activists, artists, educators, and policy makers; as well as for all those who care about the planet.
