The Challenge

The environmental challenge posed by climate change may involve dire consequences for the lives of many living species on our planet. It is now well understood that we need a sustainable future, and for that, we also need a society-wide shift in our environmental attitudes. To effect such a radical shift, building awareness around climate change among all social groups and communities must happen as a collaborative, multidisciplinary effort.

The combination of the need to fight climate change, together with the artists’ need to belong to a bigger community and be trained on how to trigger environmental change is what makes the essence of A(rt)ction.

Where We Step In

With the A(rt)ction project, we aim to put visual artists at the heart of the environmental movement and strengthen their role in raising awareness on climate change and encouraging sustainable social, economic, and environmental practices worldwide.

Who is a(rt)ction for?

A(rt)ction engages three diverse stakeholder groups, that are active either in the field of arts and arts education or environmental work.
