No worries! It was wonderful to see the mural in real life! Thanks for inviting me to participate

We've had a wonderful day celebrating the launch of TWO Sensing Climate murals in Glasgow, at Greater Easterhouse Supporting Hands, with a fab mural team sharing key messages for what to prioritise in climate responses - mostly we need to look out for each other! sensing-climate.com/news/glasgow...

Welll today was the day of showing members of GDA and many other who took part in the mural of climate change and disabled people of not one, but TWO, murals in Glasgow! The key message is that we need to look out for each other, both as the world is now and as the climate changes.

Along with other Glaswegians, I worked with the @sensing-climate.bsky.social team (Working representing #climatechange and #disability ) to contribute ideas to #mural #art in #Glasgow #Scotland. I got to help paint it too! 🎨🖌️ Check it out from Midday on 6th March, 2026 in the G.E.S.H, Easterhouse

The mural team have been busy this week! A day of final touches today & then tomorrow we'll be celebrating the opening of not one, but TWO, murals in Glasgow! The key message is that we need to look out for each other, both as the world is now and as the climate changes. More info to follow soon!
