AT A GLANCE
CLIMART-D. Art for Democracy in Climate Action responds to the challenge of bridging civic participation and climate action, by promoting the creation and transnational circulation of contemporary artworks produced by young European artists exploring the question “Why do we need democracy for climate action?”. Through interdisciplinary artistic capsules, participants will use co-creation, dialogue, and mentorship to develop works that reflect democratic values such as inclusion, equality, and shared responsibility. These creations will be presented in interactive and participatory exhibitions that aim not only to showcase art, but also to open public dialogue and foster civic reflection through artistic experience.
Activities will take place in three partner countries (Germany, Italy, and Portugal), including workshops, training sessions, co-creation moments, and a series of physical and online exhibitions. The goal is to enhance the role of art as a tool for critical reflection and active participation on issues of environmental sustainability and social justice.
OBJECTIVES
- To empower young European artists to collaboratively create interdisciplinary artworks.
- To build artistic, democratic, and environmental literacy through training, mentorship, and structured reflection
- To foster international mobility and dialogue through public participatory exhibitions and digital platforms.
