Abstract
This online exhibition of photographs and artworks provides documentation of ‘Power Grids: Reimagining Energy Infrastructure in Comics’ (2024–2026). The project is funded by the BA/Leverhulme Small Research grant scheme and the images included here were exhibited at the British Academy’s Summer Showcase in June 2025. The project brings together two discrete yet growing social movements: community energy and comics-based research. It uses comics co-creation workshops to conduct research into the way communities across England are organising to produce sustainable energy and in that way to lower fuel costs, catalyse the green transition and combat the climate crisis, and build place-making cultures of empowerment and belonging.
