AN artwork highlighting global warming and rising sea levels has appeared on the side of a house in Grangetown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mural, on Dinas Street, shows a whale gliding through a flooded Cardiff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is the latest in a series of murals that Extinction Rebellion Cardiff is helping to fund across the city as part of No Ice Caps, No Cardiff, a campaign to raise public awareness of the climate emergency through street art. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last year Cardiff was named the UK\u2019s most at risk city due to climate change and the sixth most at risk in the world, according to a study funded by Nestpick, an online platform for on-demand housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘As soon as I saw it I thought that’s powerful’<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Carl Fenton, 48, is an architect living in Grangetown. He commissioned the artwork after XR Cardiff asked him if he would be willing to donate his end-terrace wall to their campaign. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt started off with a letter drop by Extinction Rebellion,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019ve been a passionate street art follower for a while now and I\u2019ve always thought the wall could be more useful living on the end of terrace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe letter pooled my interest in art and important issues which I\u2019m very aware of, especially living in Grangetown so close to the river and the sea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
