My vision is to bring awareness to climate change and sustainability through art. We need research and innovation to make an impact. We need keynote speakers who are respected globally and we also need artistic inspiration that touches the heart.

I am so lucky to have this genuinely diverse group of friends who bring together so many impactful voices.


I am thrilled that I could support the 5th Social Impact Club Conference at London Business School and curate a digital art exhibition with my fellow RASummer2022 exhibitors.

As a force for the good, business must engage with the most pressing, heartfelt concerns of the world. Many of those concerns can be analysed through the classic disciplines of a great Business School, but to touch our own hearts as leaders – and the hearts of those we lead – we need more. We need emotional engagement and inspiration. We will find these through the powerful expressions that artists convey to us through their hopes and fears for the future in this time when they acutely feel the way in which the world hangs in the balance.


The LBS Social Impact Club is proud to host an extraordinary selection of works of art on the theme of climate change recently exhibited at London's Royal Academy, curated by artist and curator Lukas Kroulik, whose work, with his fellow exhibitors, was chosen by the judges for the 2022 Royal Academy summer exhibition. Their work has been widely featured, in one case chosen to commemorate the late Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee.


We are featuring 15 pieces that will be projected throughout the week introduced by Prof Ioannis Ioannou in his keynote talk on social impact on April 13. The exhibitors’ biographies will be available through QR codes on their work, and many of them will be present in person.

In my collage, originally created for the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition 2023, I connected four original hand modified photographs on a recycled gold tray.


I am connecting the spiritual, prayer flags, and the physical, recycle bins. The flags point to the sublime, the bins to what we reject. We must bring these together to create a positive, hopeful embrace of climate change and sustainability activism, as I do in my art.

My inspiration arose from the famously inspirational four pillars of Gross National Happiness in Bhutan.


1. Sustainable and Equitable Socio-Economic Development

2. Preservation and Promotion of Culture

3. Environmental Conservation

4. Good Governance


Tashi Chozom and Lukas Kroulik in Bhutan 2022.

The Bhutanese ideal of gross national happiness - rather than gross national product (GNP) leads immediately to concern for climate change. Here we were ever so lucky to be given insights from a great new friend. This is Tashi, who took part in the international snowman trail race in September 2022, organised by HM The King to add a new voice to the demands for action on climate risk, as the trail marked the retreat of the snowfields.



I was encouraged by my two fellow Regent's University alumni, HM The Queen of Bhutan and François van den Abeele, SEA2SEE Founder & Ceo.


We all have several things in common: successful studies at Regent's, a passion for a happy future and clean environment around us - and making a specific change and difference in areas close to us.
