In 2010 àgata team up to create an environmental festival in manchester which has become envirolution. Its core is to showcase environmental projects in the manchester region and beyond which are working towards making communities more sustainable.

My role was event programmer to create a diverse programme of activities, workshops and panels around environmental art, eco-design, eco-building, food, energy, sustainable fashion etc. to attract an intergenerational audience who not necessary is environmental issues.

With a budget of £2000 it was held at Contact Theatre on the 30th of October and attracted around 350 people.

Part of Control exhibition, I created an interactive workshop space for architects, designers and artists research on the Carbon Footprint of their practices.

The video performance of EP_High Tide and the equation was exhibited at the Art & Design Academy of Liverpool John Moors University, as part of The Mersey Basin Project, along another 11 UK artists.

It was curated bu High Tide in partnership with LJMU, Proudman Oceonographic Laboratory and FACT.

The project also result in a performance at TAA where a firing squat was set up and citizens of Manchester were invited to bring any unwanted non-organic waste and shoot what they brought to the condemned. The rising levels of waste were measured by a sea levels gauge.

Along 11 other artists, environmental performance was commissioned by Hide Tide Arts Project to respond to the theme of rising sea levels and its impact in the Merseyside basin. It result in a micro residency part of the exhibition Climate for Change at FACT (Foundation for Art and Creative Technology) in Liverpool and explore the subject in collaboration with Dr. Jason Kirby (Liverpool John Moors University) and Professor Philip L. Woodworth adviser to the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory, Liverpool)

The result of this micro-residency was and equation visualising the link between population, waste and sea levels.

This environmental performance consisted in inviting the citizens of Manchester to dipose their unwanted non-organic waste into a transparent container, placed at the bar of the greenroom arts centre, in which I lived for 2 days. This was also broadcast via internet, in order to give the opportunity to the rest of the world to see how the bin was getting filled up while I was inside, and at the same time, ask me questions about the project.

Environmental Performance participated at the first TAA celebrated in Manchester which is a festival that gives voice to the underground art movement. It was brutal, it was magic.

I invited all the neighbours around the the Old Smithfield Market Hall ( the squatted space to accommodate TAA exhibition) to come and fill up an empty room with their unwanted plastic bags. In the room was screened Landfill Performance @ arpley meadows (which part of the residues generated in Greater Manchester go to get buried) and 2 posters No more babies in this world. http://dieoff.org/page174.htm

See how we explained TAA philosophy when was set up cavarave in 2007 in which I exhibited EP_target

I participated at the Junk Fashion Show
