Trans Artists and Julie's Bicycle have developed a partnership with cultural organizations in Europe dedicated to promoting environmental sustainability and how that can be challenged in practical, ethical, and artistic ways, across arts' and cultural communities across Europe. We believe it is time that arts and culture takes responsibility in its own innovative and artistic ways. This project will investigate what environmental sustainability exactly implies for the visual arts and design on different levels in close collaboration with designers, artists and scientists across Europe. We will achieve our objectives by approaching the issue on two symbiotic levels. 1. Workshops; environmental impact measurement for the arts, reductions, technologies and innovations for cultural organizations and artists. The workshops will cover the core environmental impact areas: energy, water, waste and have a special focus on mobility. The workshops are curated by Julie´s Bicycle. 2. Labs; innovative, experimental and creative research for artists and arts organisers in which to address through their artistic work key components of environmental sustainability. The labs are curated by Trans Artists.Working with these two alliances will ensure that the creative and practical opportunities are embedded into the programme from the outset, thereby ensuring that the unhelpful schisms between art and industry, theory and practice, creative compromise and ambition are avoided and environmental sustainability is intrinsic to the artistic process. The ‘artists’ perspective’ will feed directly into practical workshops, and the other way around. By doing this project we aim to address a global problem and identify realistic steps we can take towards solutions; a vision for a healthier, more artistic and more sustainable future for the citizens of Europe.
