C Words: Carbon, Climate, Capital, Culture – a two-month exhibition by artist-activist group PLATFORM and their collaborators is currently ongoing at Arnolfini.

The show boasts seven new commissions, including The Laboratory of Insurrectionary Imagination‘s installation is open this week, in preparation for their upcoming workshops.

What’s more, the Lab is treating the commission as a space to prepare for a tactical deployment of their work at the much-discussed COP15.  Mobilizations at the UN summit, coordinated in part with Climate Camp and other Climate Justice Action network members, are set to include the Bike Block, and will

be unleashed on the RECLAIM POWER day of action on 16th December. Made from hundreds of recycled bikes, The Bike Bloc will merge device of mass transportation and pedal powered resistance machine, postcapitalist bike gang and art bike carnival.
