Storm Gathering brings together voices from across Bradford District for an urgent and powerful reflection on climate change.

This special event is the conclusion of Ark Bradford, a social engagement project that has invited people across the district to consider two key questions: What form will the flood take? And how will we build our ark?

Tonight’s event features a range of voices from across society – some speaking live, others heard via recordings captured during Ark Bradford’s previous events. Together, they’ll consider what the climate crisis could mean for us all: what we’re running from, and where we might be heading in the years to come.

When the flood comes, what will you take with you – and what will you leave behind? Consider these questions and more at The Beacon in Lister Park – admission is free and there’s no need to book

 

 

Ark Bradford

Ark Bradford is a district-wide conversation about climate, community, and the stories we carry. Commissioned for Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture, the project gathers voices from across the district to ask: what form does the flood take, and how will we build our ark? Ark Bradford is a collaborative project led by Moot Works and Sheffield Hallam University. For more information, visit ark-bradford.org.
