The entire planet Earth is my home and country, my country is my mother and my mother knows no borders. We are all siblings: humans, rocks, plants, animals and all others.”
– The Apu Chupaqpata Global Education Centre’s principles 1 & 2
Hussein Mitha is a Glasgow-based educator and artist who came to Huntly in March 2022 for a six-month residency focused on climate justice and education. Hussein's practice often deals with class, racial capitalism, anti-imperialism radical education and contemporary art.
Hussein's project, the world is ours, in spite of all, considered education and the challenges of education in a time of climate emergency with an aim to cultivate an ethos of inspiration, cooperation, connection and solidarity to rise to those challenges.
Through workshops, new learning resources, gardening, and the formation of a new climate activist youth group, the artist explored how climate justice can be understood through and in Huntly as well as in a wider context, especially in solidarity with those facing the consequences of climate inaction in the global south.
