C Words: Carbon, Capital, Climate, Culture A major exhibition and season of 50 events held in the run-up to COP 15, at leading contemporary arts centre Arnolfini, Bristol. While the exhibition in Bristol has ended, we are continuing to explore the issues at the heart of the project, reflect on the work done so far, and have ambition to take it forward in new, creative and challenging directions...
