Candlestar partnered with the Cambridge Programme for Sustainability Leadership (CPSL) to support Sculpting Our History - a unique event held at the Science Museum in London on 27 May 2009.

Against the background of the climate change debate, Sculpting our History aimed to explore how an artistic or creative standpoint can change our perspective, and endeavoured to examine the role of the arts and creativity in times of crisis both throughout history and today.

The event formed part of the 2009 Nobel Laureates Symposium on Climate Change, hosted by the Cambridge Programme for Sustainability Leadership (CPSL) with the patronage of HRH The Prince of Wales. It brought together around 150 esteemed artists, business and public sector heads, civil society leaders, academics, scientists and 20 Nobel Prize winners. Alongside a panel discussion that included contributions from Nobel Peace Prize-winner Wangari Maathai, Artistic Director of the South Bank Centre, Jude Kelly, Artist Heather Ackroyd, and Director of the Centre for Ecoliteracy, Fritjof Capra, there were performances by leading artists from a range of mediums, including Max Eastley and Lemn Sissay. 

Candlestar used its extensive networks within sustainability and environmental art to identify a number of participating artists for Sculpting Our History. The event also featured a presentation of the outstanding photographic entries for the inaugural Prix Pictet, which is developed and managed by Candlestar.
