Climate Exchange Platform #4: Collaborating towards Climate Justice

Climate Exchange Platform

The Climate Exchange Platform is a network of art academies that center art & the ecological crisis. It offers an online space for dialogue.

In this fourth online workshop we will engage with the question of how can we build networks of solidarity and support with those that are directly affected by ecological destruction and climate breakdown? What are meaningful ways of (artistic) collaboration and how do we not reproduce existing power dynamics?We will hear from different speakers, including artist Ralph Eya and activist Rosa Marina Flores Cruz, who will share their practices and invite the audience to engage through practical exercises with their work.​​We will also learn from artist Teresa Borasino about the ​Climate Justice Code, developed between 2019 and 2023 by multiple cultural practitioners at Casco<a href="https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&amp;rls=en&amp;q=climate+justice+code&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;oe=UTF-8" title="https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&amp;rls=en&amp;q=climate+justice+code&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;oe=UTF-8" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">​</a> ​Art Institute.

It is a network of participating art academies and post-academic institutes including the Planetary Poetics master's programme at the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam, the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht, the Art and Ecology master's programme at Goldsmiths University in London and the Center for Creative Ecologies at the University of California in Santa Cruz.Through the Climate Exchange Platform we want to share experiences, perspectives, and working methods between art schools with programs focused on aesthetics and ecology--particularly those that directly focus their artistic practices on the unfolding ecological catastrophe--and the public at large. The development of the platform is organised by students and alumni from the various participating art schools under the guidance of artist Dorine van Meel. This first series of online panel discussions and workshops is organized by members of the platform. The Climate Exchange Platform is initiated by Planetary Poetics at the Sandberg Instituut (Amsterdam) and supported by VIS, Virtuele Internationale Samenwerking.
