Breathing, bushfires and ‘little bees’: children make art for the climate crisis – in pictures
For the 2024 Adelaide festival, young people from around South Australia were invited to make art in response to their three climate change priorities, chosen via a survey: mass extinction, extreme weather, and air and waterway pollution.
Through workshops supported by local schools, more than 1,100 works were submitted to the Create4Adelaide project, from artists as young as one – which the public can now vote on until 4 December. A selection of the works appears below but the full suite is available at the Create4Adelaide website. The top-voted works will be exhibited at the 2024 Adelaide festival in March
