An intimate narrative of the most urgent story of modern times, told through the artworks of dynamo Heather Ackroyd & Dan Harvey.

Five years in the making, Ackroyd and Harvey: The Art of Activism is the latest film from award winning documentarian Fiona Cunningham-Reid, offering intimate and singular access into the lives, work and partnership of Heather Ackroyd and Dan Harvey, two of Britain’s most renowned artists.

Intrinsically bound up in protest, the film follows the pair collaborating with Extinction Rebellion, and co-founding their own movement, Culture Declares Emergency. Their work is uncompromisingly preoccupied with the climate crisis, and has become a rallying point for the environmental movement. It’s won them international acclaim, but the film leaves us in no doubt – they’d be creating it whether the world was watching or not. Some of their pieces stand in prestigious galleries, others are embedded in nature – part of the environment they’ve been created to advocate for. Their work not only references the natural world, but regularly employs it.
