To mark World Ocean Day 2020 we were asked to create artwork for a series of billboards around London to remember the Oceans, and provide a bit of escape from lockdown life by Ocean Bottle. We created this mini campaign, combining dreams of escaping lockdown with a reminder that the oceans still need our help - BIG time. The campaign was on display across 3 London sites; Dalston, Battersea and Wandsworth.

We put on an environmental exhibition like no other! With ever-more pressing news about climate change hitting our headlines on a daily basis, and a surge of action taking the country by storm, we invited people to learn about, and act on global warming through our specially designed space. ‘SNGZ’ featured a combination of our work and 50 specially selected artists. Apprx 1500 visitors came to the gallery to tackle the biggest issues facing the planet, from energy to travel to wilding through curated actions. At the exhibition we partnered with Ecosia to launch a challenge to plant 5000 trees. The exhibition focused on happiness and motivation, there were laughs, engaging visual art and some audience participation, alongside a program of events and a fundraising shop.

SNGZ was featured in; Timeout Magazine, Its Nice That, Elephant Magazine, The Independent, The Evening Standard, Pebble Magazine, ArtRabbit, Creative Boom, London Art News.

We designed an alternative newspaper cover wrap for the Metro. Within it, we imagined a different media approach to the December 2019 election; climate change being the main focus. From the front page to the sports section, and every advert in between, we turned every tiny detail of the newspaper into a positive and parodical commentary on climate change and the urgent need for a Green New Deal. Once printed, the paper cover was applied to Metros and distributed across London by a large team of volunteers.

Prior to the Christmas 2019 period, we designed and printed climate conversation guides to help people navigate awkward family/friends/christmas party climate chat. We created fictional profiles and provided agony-aunt style advice on how to manage frustrating exchanges with people who don’t share the same viewpoint. We self-funded, and self-distributed these guides to almost a hundred locations around London to be taken for free by people. We also made accessible a digital PDF version for those out of London.

We partnered with Hens Teeth Studio to present a new exhibition in Dublin. This week-long show is part of Hen’s Teeth’s new series of 'For A Better World' exhibitions to raise awareness and funds for the climate crisis.

We created a series of prints to raise funds for Wildlife Victoria and Vets For Compassion in Australia. Both charities are working tirelessly to help wildlife affected by the devastating fires. Funds raised went towards supporting those doing lifesaving work and currently struggling to cope with the enormous amount of animals that need care.

Our very first ever campaign and project started in september 2017, and was called 'Don't be a Fossil Fool.' The campaign encouraged people to take a first step into climate activism by switching to renewable energy. We created an engaging switching website, a poster campaign, and even printed beer mats with facts and persuasive arguments for making the change to clean energy at home or work. We also collaborated with animator David Renton to create a video that can be shared online. fossilfool.world

The Global Climate Strikes saw 4,000,000 people across the world leaving their jobs or school for the day to protest inaction on the climate crisis. We created a selection of protest placards to be easily printed by people at home, to take to the strike. The communications around the placard series centred on encouraging people to join the strikes. We were overjoyed when we saw photos of the placards in action in Europe, the USA and Australia.

Syrup magazine invited us to create a series of 4 spreads in their magazine. We responded with 4 fake adverts, inserted chronologically in ‘age’ from a parody ad from the 60’s to a mag spread from the 2100’s. All concept, copy and design is by Adapt.

UCL’s sustainability department commissioned us to create a functional ‘living room’ that could be moved around campuses at the university to facilitate discussions about climate change. We created a table with a board game set into the top, and 6 chairs that had conversation starters and information about climate change set into the side. The chairs could be used to pair people up and provide support in conversations.

‍

UCL University commissioned us to create a large installation in the main courtyard of their historic central London campus. The brief was to create an installation that highlighted the plastic crisis. We decided to build a giant canopy that hung above the heads of visitors, filled with pre-recycled plastic. The canopy aimed to bring an experience of the Great Pacific Plastic Patch to London, and standing below, the audience had a fish eye view.

The Tate Modern invited us to be part of their August 2019 Tate Lates, with a theme on sustainability. We chose to run our popular climate change speed dating session. Hosted by our collaborator and drag queen Portia, the evening was a huge success and left many talking about climate change in a funny and relaxed atmosphere for much longer than expected.

In February 2019 we hosted the very first Planet Party in collaboration with Brainchild Festival. The event was a late night party with music from the likes of Ben Hauke and Zakia, accompanied by activities, conversation starters and interactive pieces, all with the aim of making climate conversation easier and more engaging in a fun environment.
