In March 2024, the Saturday Art Club investigated how art and creativity can be used in climate change activism. In response to Plant Theatre for Plant People (2021), a performance protest by artist Grace Ndiritu, the young people created colourful masks inspired by nature. The session was planned to coincide with CAST’s screening of Ndiritu’s Black Beauty: for a Shamanic Cinema, which was shown between February and March 2024.
