About Bangalore Creative Circus
Bangalore Creative Circus or BCC, is a 20,000 sq feet warehouse located in Yeshwanthpur in Bangalore. It was built as a demonstrative space for people to interact and connect with sustainable living. BCC uses art and science as mediums to draw and engage people in the space, with the stated intention of encouraging every person to take a step in the direction of living sustainably. The space has been set up along the lines of a “living lab” where various experiments around sustainable and conscious living are carried out. Almost everything in the space has been built out of reused, recycled and scrap material.
The Initiative for Climate Action or ICA, is a non-profit that was set up to promote collective action in the climate space. The ICA is a large group of volunteers consisting of lawyers, educators, film-makers, artists, climate scientists, etc. who’ve come together to engage in different aspects of climate action, city resilience, vulnerability response, education, youth empowerment etc.
