How can art be used to both engender and document acts of resistance? Olivia Laing, who spent the summer of 1997 in a tree protesting the destruction of much woodland to make way for a strip of road, leads a discussion on protest, freedom of expression and the climate crisis, joined by Extinction Rebellion co-founder Clare Farrell and photojournalist Adrian Fisk.
English PEN partners with the Southbank Centre for this event, which is part of #PlanetSummer, a landmark multi-artform season, in response to the climate emergency.
