WeAreVCA EP 6: Artivism in Action: Using Puppetry to Inspire Climate Action
In this episode of the Hali Hewa Podcast – African Climate Stories, we dive into the creative world of puppetry and how it’s being used to drive climate action in Kenya. Kenya Institute of Puppet Theatre (KIPT), shares how puppetry,often seen as a playful art form, has become a powerful medium for engaging communities, raising awareness, and inspiring change on climate issues. As part of the Voices for Just Climate Action (VCA) programme, KIPT has used performance and storytelling to make climate change more accessible, especially for children, youth, and marginalized groups. Through this conversation, we explore the impact of arts-based advocacy, the importance of involving local communities in climate conversations, and the ways young people are stepping up through creative expression. We also look ahead to the future of KIPT’s work and how others can support and be part of this vibrant movement for climate justice. Tune in to discover how puppets are helping bring climate stories to life and sparking real action.
