Exploring Risk Visual Arts Festival | Durham University

"Societies worldwide are confronted with escalating risks from hazards such as floods, landslides, earthquakes, and water pollution, as well as mounting social pressures driven by migration, population growth, and urbanisation. In response, we are enhancing our resilience to these challenges through innovative local initiatives, such as community-driven action, nature-based solutions, and novel financial strategies. This Exploring Risk Visual Arts Festival 2025 is about documenting, capturing, and inspiring the transition from being impacted by hazards to being resilient. "
