‘Restorying Landscapes in a Changing Climate’ explores how artists and culture bearers can support communities in building long-term climate resilience and regenerating their ecosystems, both in the UK and the Philippines. This project is a collaboation between the Living Story Landscapes Project, the Hawkwood Centre for Future Thinking, and One Resilient Earth, with the support of the British Council.
“There’s no separation between self and other,
and everything is interconnected.
Once you are aware of that
you are no longer caught in the idea
that you are a separate entity.”

What is Tapestry?
Tapestry is a program by One Resilient Earth that connects people and communities around the world to facilitate their transformation towards resilience through access to new information, questioning, learning, un-learning, joint-explorations, and open sharing.
Through community-led projects, Tapestry supports people willing to regenerate their communities and ecosystems in a climate altered world, by bringing in novel perspectives, fostering transdisciplinary dialogues, and supporting creative or experimental initiatives.
Tapestry is woven with partner organizations and/or local governments from all over the planet, who wish to transform now to prepare for climate instability and environmental change. Each initiative is designed in partnership with One Resilient Earth, in resonance with a time, a place and its people.
