When it comes to tackling climate change, a group of Pacific Island writers and artists say that the power of creativity is being underestimated.
Back in September 2010 the University of the South Pacific in Fiji hosted the Oceanic Conference on Creativity and Climate Change, which looked at using the arts to educate and motivate communities.
The conference came up with new ways of presenting the issues, and its proceedings have now been incorporated in a special edition of the literary journal Dreadlocks.
Earlier today I spoke to the journal’s editor and the Director of the Pacific Writing Forum, Mohit Prasad, from the University of the South Pacific.
He explains how the idea to combine creativity and climate change came about.
