Emma Skeet is an artivist prioritising the environment and human rights in arts projects with over 35 years experience running arts workshops and events. Emma set up Share Your Story Through Art CIC (SYSTA) to
empower people of all ages to use creativity for well-being and raise awareness of issues important to them, creating shared experiences, relationships and community solidarity.
Emma’s aim is to provide a safe space for participants to have fun, share hopes and concerns for their communities (both human and natural), support well-being and inspire each other and the wider community to make changes for a sustainable future for people and planet, using imagination, creativity, collaboration and art to communicate and inspire change. She prioritises the reuse and upcycling of materials to reduce landfill and encourage seeing the value in what is normally thrown away, giving materials a new lease of life.
