The City Speaks is an exhibition of local action by ordinary people responding to the climate emergency and other environmental issues in their everyday lives. Seven films were produced in the run-up to last year's COP 26. This autumn sees further stories shared as a roving poster exhibition that is travelling to each of Bristol’s public libraries. 

Together the stories are a celebration of local courage, determination and ingenuity. They show what’s possible when people shift from thinking and talking to taking action.

Further City Speaks stories are available as films online and in the M Shed as part of the summer/autumn 2022 Think Global: Act Bristol exhibition.  

City Speaks is a Praxis production supported by the Cabot Institute for the Environment.
