What is Bilya?

BILYA is an online relational map of people, projects, and organisations who are engaging with the climate emergency through artistic practices and other fields and disciplines.

BILYA is a way to support deeper transdisciplinary collaboration – across climate adaptation, social sciences, social justice, software design, Indigenous data sovereignty1, culture, and the arts. It helps organise and build capacity in the sector by supporting people (artists, organisations, funders, researchers, climate professionals, etc.) connect, learn, archive, collaborate, and share knowledge and resources.

BILYA is becoming an evidence base of practice to support sector adaptation in the climate emergency context.
