Community Breakfasts

A regular series of delicious and nourishing online events. Each Breakfast has a different focus, and everyone is warmly welcomed.

Our friendly Breakfast gatherings run from 9-10.30 am (UK time), on the last Tuesday of alternating months, via Zoom. These are relatively informal spaces for the community to network, welcome new Declarers, bring questions and challenges, and share knowledge and practices. Everyone is welcome: individual Declarers, representatives of Declarer Organisations, and anyone interested in Culture Declares.


Next Breakfast

Our next Breakfast will take place on Tuesday 29th April, 9 – 10.30 am. More info and registration link to come – please check back.

Our last Community Breakfast took place on Tuesday 25th February 2025, exploring:

Art that changes things: how can creative practice bring about social and ecological transformation? 

Art and culture can do more than ‘respond to’ or ‘raise awareness of’ the earth crisis. Whilst eco exhibitions proliferate around the world, many are asking if art that merely invites speculation goes deep enough. As Marv Recinto wrote, ‘eco exhibitions won’t save us’. Artistic and cultural practices have the power to actually begin to shift things, through deeply engaged, collaborative, place-based processes. This was an invitation for the community: come and listen, reflect, and share your practices and approaches.

We heard from the following artists and cultural workers:

  • Freddie Yauner, a multidisciplinary artist whose work celebrates nature, unpicks ideas of progress and explores the cognitive dissonance needed to be a human alive today.
  • Radhika Jani and Sumayyah Zannath of Platform London and the Blueprint Architects, who are using community arts to co-design a blueprint for food and racial justice in Tower Hamlets.
  • Eloïse Currie, circus artist and co-creator Of The Wild circus, a collective that intersects ecology, immersive performance and seasonal ritual.
  • James Aldridge, visual artist working with people and places, whose work in recent years has focused on artful engagement with wetlands, and on neurodivergent perspectives on place, through the Queer River research project.
