From storytelling and art to food and powerful conversations, Climate Sisters showcases this March celebrate the creativity and leadership of women shaping climate justice in their communities.
This March, the Climate Sisters and Siblings, across London, Glasgow and Manchester, are sharing their ideas, creativity and climate leadership through a series of showcase events.
These events celebrate the work of women who have spent the past months exploring climate justice through Wen’s Climate Sisters feminist climate leadership programme.
Through workshops, discussions and community learning, participants have been connecting climate change to everyday realities in their communities, from air pollution and food access to green space, housing and wellbeing.
The showcases offer a chance to experience the ideas and creative responses that have emerged from that journey. From storytelling and spoken word to art, discussion and visionary ideas for change, the events will showcase the Climate Sisters’ creative responses to the climate crisis, rooted in their lived experience.
At the heart of Climate Sisters is the belief that people most affected by climate change must be part of shaping the solutions. The programme centres the leadership of women from racialised and marginalised communities, recognising lived experience, cultural knowledge and community wisdom as essential to building a more just climate future.
London: Diasporic stories, climate justice and imagination
On 23 March, the Climate Siblings and Sisters, London, will bring together food, art, culture and powerful conversation at the Barbican.
This vibrant event brings together the Climate Siblings of The Love Tank and the Climate Sisters of ALAS, Women’s Inclusive Team and Akwaaba, creating a space for food, art, culture and powerful conversation.
Together they will share perspectives from across the world including Algeria, Nigeria, Somalia, Bangladesh, Sudan, Turkey, Pakistan, Zimbabwe and Ethiopia, as well as stories rooted here in London.
Through film, sound and creative installations, the evening will explore how the climate crisis shapes everyday lives and histories. Visitors will encounter work that reflects on themes ranging from textile and fashion legacies to Black queer perspectives on justice, and the impacts of migration policies and global systems on land, health and community.
The event begins with a drinks reception and exhibitions in the Barbican Conservatory, followed by performances, dialogue and a shared plant based meal where guests can take part in informal table discussions hosted by Climate Sisters.
Expect an evening that honours diasporic histories while celebrating resilience, creativity and collective imagination through poetry, performance and shared conversation.

The event celebrates the growing network of women exploring climate justice across Scotland’s Central Belt and building a visible feminist climate movement rooted in community knowledge and creativity.

Manchester: celebrating Intersectional Feminist Climate Leadership
On 28 March, Climate Sisters Manchester will host its first Creative Showcase at Manchester Museum.
Over the past 20 weeks, women from grassroots organisations including Support and Action for Women Network (SAWN) and Women’s Voices have been exploring climate change through an intersectional feminist lens, connecting environmental justice with race, migration, gender, care and lived experience.
At this special showcase event, participants will share the creative work inspired by the climate issues that matter most to them, including storytelling, spoken word, art and discussion.
The event is a celebration of collective leadership and imagination, highlighting how grassroots knowledge can shape powerful responses to the climate crisis. Visitors can expect:

- Climate justice explored through a feminist lens
- Grassroots leadership in action

A growing movement
Climate Sisters began in Glasgow during COP26 and has since grown into a national movement led by Wen.
The programme is expanding over the next five years to support hundreds of women across the UK to step into climate leadership.
These showcases offer a glimpse of that movement in action and the powerful ideas that emerge when women have the space to learn, reflect and lead together.
