ONE of the top environmental events in the country is set to return to Firstsite this weekend with Green Party MP Caroline Lucas and more in attendance.
After more than 500 people attended last year’s first ever event in Firstsite, EA Sustain, a weekend festival about environment, culture, and entrepreneurship, will return again to Firstsite this weekend.
Frances Morris, Director Emerita of Tate Modern, will be talking about how sustainability and the “conventional museum business model” with the 2024 programme expecting to have more art content.
Caroline Lucas MP of the Green party, Helen Browning, CEO of the Soil Association, Veronica Sekule environmental art gallery founder and artist Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg will be speaking at the programme showcase.
The moderators for the main talk will be Sarah Langford, author of Rooted, and Pam Cox, head of the sociology department at Essex University and Labour’s Colchester candidate for the general election.
Founder and creative director of EA Sustain Joanne Ooi has lived on the border of Suffolk and Essex since 2016, previously living in Hong Kong and co-founding the Clean Air Network – which made her one of the Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people in 2011.
