CULTURE FOR CLIMATE

Projekt

 

The aim of the project “V4 Culture for Climate – Social Scene of the 18th Edition of the SURVIVAL Art Review” is to create an open space for an artistic and scientific debate on the links between culture and climate change in the Visegrad countries. We have invited climate change specialists, artists, curators, journalists and culture managers from the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary to a series of nine meetings and debates. For four weeks, we will be engaged in intensive reflection on the meaning of culture and art on the brink of a climate disaster.

Partners: Art Transparent / Šopa Gallery / Kulturní centrum Řehlovice / Pro Progressione

The project “V4 Culture for Climate – Social Scene of the 18th Edition of the SURVIVAL Art Review” is co-financed by the governments of Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia through Visegrad Grants from the International Visegrad Fund. The mission of the fund is to advance ideas for sustainable regional cooperation in Central Europe.
