About this Event
KINDFIRE — Eco‑Artivist Exhibition for London Climate Action Week 2026
Kindfire is a powerful 10‑day eco‑artivist exhibition at the heart of London Climate Action Week 2026, uniting artists, scientists, activists, and storytellers who use creativity to ignite climate awareness, environmental responsibility, and systemic change.
Featuring immersive installations, sculpture, photography, biomaterials, performance, and waste‑made art, Kindfire explores six urgent climate and sustainability themes: Energy Transition, Overconsumption, Food & the Kindness Revolution, Climate Social Justice, Interconnectedness, and How Climate Change Affects Me. Each artwork highlights the deep links between environmental crises, human behaviour, and the living world – showing how creative expression can drive meaningful climate action.
During the final weekend, contributors lead talks, workshops, screenings, and participatory sessions offering practical, accessible ways for visitors to take action in their own lives. All artists and speakers commit to being vegan throughout the programme, reflecting our shared responsibility toward planetary and animal wellbeing.
Created by GREENy bastARTs, an international eco‑artivist collective, Kindfire positions environmental art as a catalyst for climate action, community empowerment, and collective transformation – kind, determined, universal, and united.
GREENy bastARTs
We are an international eco-artivist collective bridging environmental understanding and transformative action across Europe. We create transformative artistic experiences that awaken ecological consciousness and inspire meaningful action. Rooted in marine conservation and expanding across the wider ecological web, we highlight how ocean health is inseparable from terrestrial environments, climate systems and all life forms.
We aim to build an interconnected ecosystem of artists, scientists, professionals, activists and communities who collaborate to protect and restore planetary health. Through expanding networks, innovative partnerships and continuous creative exploration, we foster a global community that sees environmental action as joyful, essential, creative work for the common good of all life.
Some may find our name provocative - and that is no accident. Its subversive ring is indeed intentional, yet wrapped in etymology, carrying a meaning far deeper and more symbiotic beyond the determined, activist spirit it proudly carries. GREEN and ART speak for themselves. BAST, however, is the strong inner fibre of plants (such as flax, hemp, jute and linden) - b fibres once essential to seafaring life. They formed ropes, nets, sails, …and maritime textiles. Bast was the material that held communities to the water, binding survival, exploration and connection. GREENy bastARTs revives that lineage under contemporary light.
We weave artists, scientists and citizens into a living network for planetary repair. As bast fibres once held ships afloat, bastARTs holds hope, action, and imagination together. In a world mistreated by greed and divided by fear, let us stand strong and united as free-thinkers, hope-bringers, and empathic re-connectors to our one, whole, wondrous ecosystem.
