Kat Pegler

Hi I’m Kat, I’m an eco-focussed composer, artist, researcher and producer specialising in creating works in the context of the climate emergency. I am co-founder of Kerbside, a creative collective which combines arts, sustainability and research.
Declaration
The first step to making change, is to acknowledge there is an issue.
The culture sector has a huge role to play in addressing climate change in being uniquely placed to connect people on a deeper level to social and environmental issues in creative and innovative ways. I believe, if done in the right way, we can be key to making the genuine change we can’t find on a state level.
My action will involve pushing my research further to understand how art can be effective around climate change engagement, whilst also being a means of overcoming eco-anxiety. My creative practice in both music and art will continue to explore non-human perspectives in order to encourage new empathy with the environment.
