Climate Change Magazine ‘It’s Freezing in LA!’ Launch Their Ninth Issue at Grow
IFLA!, the critically acclaimed independent magazine with a fresh take on climate change release their ninth issue at Grow with a night of entertainment ranging from a neo-classical Indian music recital to psychedelic jazz and live electronica on July 1.
They’ve built their reputation on finding the ground between science and activism, inviting writers and illustrators from a variety of fields to give their view on how climate change will affect — and is affecting — society.
They untangle the environmental tensions and choices that humanity must navigate by platforming as many different perspectives as they can find that can provide original, engaging and surprising content, widening environmental discussion and platforming essential conversations about difficult topics.
They hold climate change events, run green workshops and a variety of projects in London, the majority of which are free or with accessible ticket options.
On 1st July IFLA! host 3 sets spanning a range of musical artistry. Starting with classical Indian music, Sitar player Tommy Khosla, and Tabla player Mahesh channel hypnotic melodies on our canalside terrace. They'll also be joined by the experimental dance and jazz outfit Mama Sutra, and finally we’ll have a special showcase in live electronic music by Benomorph before DJs Hiren Parmar, Spencer Finch & Matthew Besley round off the evening.
There is, in the West at least, a narrative that some systems are so fragile, urgent or fundamental that efforts to mitigate their environmental impact must take a backseat. Healthcare is typically seen as one of these spaces: a zero-sum game whereby maintaining underfunded systems and providing high quality care comes at the expense of mitigating emissions. This is not true.
In this new issue of It’s Freezing in LA!, part-funded by the Wellcome Collection, they explore what climate change means for health, and what greener forms of care could mean for those living in crisis.
They dig into the toxic materials and systems in our daily lives, dissecting healthcare provision, alternative forms of well-being provision, exploring how citizen scientists are cleaning up our polluted air and much more.
