Ahh great pics!! I love the close up of the text in the outdoor one too hehee! 😉

The mural depicts a person confused and overwhelmed by recycling options, weather and on the right as a climate change affected drought area with refugees and silhouette moving across. On the left in a green fertile land, there are wind turbines and and Earth and hands in a heart shape in the sky, and the statue of the Duke of Wellington wearing a traffic cone is firing a cannon with all the things we don't want including pollution and an angular distinctive electric car.

A red and yellow mural says look out for each other and features three living bees and some dead bees and multiple silhouettes of disabled people and a crow at the bottom. All of the text has graffiti and scribbles in it from project participants

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...

Aw this is so great to see, thanks so much for sharing it! It was wonderful to be able to celebrate together today!! 🥳

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.

Aw these are great to see! Thanks so much for being such a key part of it all - it was fab to see you today too! 😊

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

You've been amazing! What a painting crew!! 🤩

Shows an extract from the outdoor mural design with the words 'look out' written in yellow on a red background with hands holding together a heart shaped fractured earth, and glasses over the 'oo's of 'look out'.

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!
