#4 Environmental Responsibility of Art
With a looming climate crisis, artists and art projects are not only asked to uphold ecologically sustainable working practices but to address environmental debates in their work as well. Repurpose, reuse and recycle have therefore driven organisational innovation, and topics concerning the planetary decay in the age of the Anthropocene have started to conquer stage and gallery. But what can the ecologically insignificant arts sector really achieve in the face of big polluters, like the car or energy sector? For this event, artists, cultural managers and sustainability experts will come together to discuss the ways in which we can effect structural change and the role of individual artistic responsibility.
With: Valentin Werner (IG Freie Theaterarbeit | AT), Sinéad Wallace (freelance lighting designer | IE), Anna Steinkamp (BFDK | DE) and Carina Norée & Malin Lundstedt (Dansnät Sverige | SE) and Yasmine Heyer (Kollektiv ConTakt & Akrosphäre Graz | AT).
Moderator: Ulrike Kuner (EAIPA)
