LAX LAB 2.0 | school of climate fiction
LAX LAB 2.0 is a community, book club, and educational resource dedicated to the stories and worlds of climate fiction.
WELCOME!
LAX LAB 2.0 is a newly launched project by the Institute for Art & Environment, led by Emma Arnold. The community and book club are hosted at Substack, where you can find information about the works of climate fiction we are reading, participate in community discussions, and find inspiration.
LAX LAB 2.0 is an experimental, living, collective space exploring the art and power of the written word through the lens of climate change.
Please sign up to support the project, join the community, and be kept up-to-date on current books and upcoming events. Our first book will be announced in May 2024.
