Erik Hartin

Leverhulme Trust Doctoral Scholar examining how artistic interventions can create radical change in our approach to tackling the climate and ecological emergency.

Erik Hartin is a Leverhulme Trust Doctoral Scholar at the University of East Anglia as part of the Critical Decade programme and the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts.

As a climate activist, designer, editor and writer with more than fifteen years of experience in contemporary art, publishing and activism, Erik's work focuses on designing sustainable and regenerative content and systems to help drive change in culture.
