A wide, high-angle photograph by Will Lepper showing The Cultural Climate Assembly, an event for cultural practitioners to discuss the climate crisis. The photo shows a large hall where attendees are sitting in groups around circular tables. In the centre, a large white mat on the floor is printed with a black graphic of a large tree's root system. A woman, likely a co-facilitator, stands on the graphic, addressing the attendees. In the background, another facilitator stands near a stage set up with display boards.
