Philip Lee LLP is proud to announce its sponsorship of the Irish Museum of Modern Art’s (IMMA) Earth Rising 2025 festival, Ireland’s leading cultural event exploring the intersection of climate, culture, and collective action.
Taking place from 12–14 September 2025, Earth Rising 2025 will feature a dynamic programme of talks, installations, performances, and workshops—all free to the public. This year’s theme, inspired by IMMA’s acclaimed exhibition Staying with the Trouble, invites audiences to engage with complexity and imagine new ways of living together on a changing planet.
Court for Intergenerational Climate Crimes (CICC)
As 2025’s Pollinator Sponsor, Philip Lee LLP will support the presentation of the world-renowned Court for Intergenerational Climate Crimes, championing IMMA’s commitment to present contemporary art that engages with the contemporary issues faced across the world. This powerful installation reimagines a tribunal where the British East India Company is put on trial for its colonial legacy of environmental destruction. Featuring striking lightbox displays and recordings from the original hearings, the courtroom becomes a space for reckoning and repair. On Saturday 13 September, join creators Radha D’Souza and Jonas Staal for a live discussion exploring the court’s radical fusion of law, art, and activism.
Annie Fletcher, Director, IMMA, said: “At IMMA, we are committed to being a regenerative, responsive cultural space – one that listens deeply, acts with care, and makes room for complexity, for kinship, and for possibility. Earth Rising is a vital part of that journey. Together with Philip Lee LLP, our festival partner, we invite you to join us this September to find strength in acting and thinking together.”
Commitment to the Arts and Sustainability
This collaboration underscores Philip Lee’s long-standing commitment to the arts and sustainability, aligning with its broader mission to help build better businesses, a better society, and a better planet.
Jonathan Kelly, Managing Partner, Philip Lee LLP, said: “At Philip Lee, we are committed to leading the way in supporting initiatives that reflect our core values of creativity, sustainability, and community engagement. Sponsoring IMMA’s Earth Rising festival is a natural extension of our belief in the transformative power of the arts to shape a more inclusive and environmentally conscious future. We are proud to stand alongside IMMA in leading conversations that inspire action and reimagine what’s possible for our communities and our planet.”
