About Stephen Whitehead

Essentially, I am an artist who works with people and communities, responding to environmental issues. It is important to me, that I ensure that my work has scientific validity and has meaning to the people I work with.

I aim to make environmentalism personal and relevant to everyone, with nothing about this project being purely academic. "Where is my Shelter?/ (Wo ist meine zeltbahn?) is all about involvement with people, our personal development and our relationships.

What you want to achieve through this project will not be the same for everyone I work with, the results may be unexpected and depends only on your requirements/ personal responses. For that reason, it is quite difficult to define what 'WZb?' is as the project will be something totally different when we approach it together. I have many years experience working in this way, which makes my practise relevant in an educational setting.

I am an environmental artist.

I create art that asks questions.

I work with communities and groups of people and collaborate with scientists and educators to involve people in creative activities to promote environmental awareness and empathy.

I use art to change the way you think about your understanding of your relationship with the environment.

I work in the realm where we create the psychological preperation to ask the right question...
