Daze Aghaji has rightly been described as “a ball of energy, conviction and warmth”. Aged just 23, she is, among other things, a youth climate justice activist, environmental consultant, speaker and climate consultant working alongside global corporations and governments.
She aims to bridge the gap between art and the environment, fostering a greater sense of connection and responsibility towards the planet.
Daze has worked with many leading charities, institutions and governments to advocate for radical systemic change through youth political engagement, regenerative cultures, social justice and intersectionality.
As Creative Director of Earthrise Studios, she uses various artistic mediums such as visual arts, sculpture and performance to create thought-provoking works that shed light on pressing environmental issues. She also has a research residency at the Phytology Nature Reserve in Bethnal Green.
Known for her high-profile political campaigning, she was the youngest candidate to stand in the European Parliamentary election in 2019 as a Climate and Ecological Emergency Independent candidate.
She has been closely involved with Extinction Rebellion since its formation and was their UK strategist; she was a contributor to Sky TV’s environment series.
In her own words, the only way we can prevent environmental catastrophe is by ‘going back to our roots and falling back in love with our land’.
