Whitby High School
Year 12 students from Whitby High School worked closely with visual artist David Kendall to photograph air pollution in Ellesmere Port. Kendall took part in our Climate Lab earlier this year and experimented with thermal imaging to capture visible and invisible elements of pollution.
Armed with smartphones, Kendall tasked the students to explore their local area and capture what air pollution looks like to them. Does it have a colour? Does it have a shape? Is it portrait or is it landscape? Is it hot or is it cold? Is it visible or is it invisible?
As well as highlighting causes of pollution, the students explored local solutions to the problem and photographed local charity, Bridge Wellness Gardens, an organic farm using sustainable farming practices and a wellness garden for the local community.
The two responses on show act as a conversation about how we can individually and collectively make positive changes to create a better, cleaner and more sustainable environment.
