Who We Are

Cape Farewell uses art, music and culture to engage the wider public about climate change and environmental challenges. We work with artists/creatives who can translate the often complex world of science into a cultural narrative, communicating the facts and the reasoning behind the research. Cape Farewell operates from it's HQ at the WaterShed in Dorset, a low carbon office and artist’s residency studio built on the site of an old trout farm in Sydling St Nicholas.

What We Do

How We Work

Cape Farewell changes the way we think about climate change

How we measure our impact

  • Delivering internationally recognized high quality artwork
  • Assess the multiplier effect - how much media attention is generated.
  • Internet recognition; web site stats and increase of social media activity.
  • Quantify direct public engagement and the quality of that interaction through evaluations and tracking of audience numbers.
  • Reaching targeted demographics through tailor-made programmes and strong strategic partnerships.
  • Leadership - Cape Farewell is an internationally emulated model of best practice.
  • Publish papers / peer reviewed and subject of (academic) research worldwide.
  • Making social and natural (climate) science accessible and exciting to the wider public.
  • Creativity - we highly value creativity as a driver of cultural change.
  • Fun as a measure of success. Negativity is counterproductive.
