Isobel has a Bachelor’s Degree in Interdisciplinary Arts and International Master’s Degree in Children’s Literature, Media and Culture from Glasgow, Aarhus and the Autonomous University of Barcelona. Her research has examined the power and complexities that lie within stories for children, particularly relating to the Climate and Ecological Crisis. Having worked in schools and a library she believes in including children’s voices in the struggle against Climate disaster and using collective storytelling and art as a means to do that.
Although THE HERDS is about jolting us all awake to the reality of our global climate situation, to me it is also about hope and collective imagining. The fact that this, borderline crazy, artistic feat is happening and connecting people across continents through art is something to celebrate.
