Cultural Mapping: Research & Analysis

The Cultural Mapping: we dive deep into the heart of communities, employing innovative cartopological mapping methods. This approach extends beyond physical topography to capture the emotional and personal connections people have with their environments. By integrating inputs from local residents and artists, we aim to create maps that reveal the intricate relationships between citizens and their rapidly evolving urban landscapes. These maps are not just navigational tools but are envisioned as catalysts for future planning and artistic inspiration, reflecting the unique character and challenges of each city.

Local Urban Labs

The Local Urban Labs (LUL) are a network of creative hubs spread across Vienna, Gdansk, Evoia, and Stockholm. These labs offer a dynamic space for local artists to explore and express their perspectives on climate change through art. Each lab is designed to be a melting pot of ideas, where artists can engage in workshops and digital residencies, creating artworks that resonate with local narratives and challenges. The LULs are envisioned as incubators for artistic innovation and community engagement, fostering a dialogue that blends local insights with broader environmental concerns.

International Artists’ Residencies Programme

Our International Artists’ Residencies program invites artists from around the globe to immerse themselves in the local contexts of our partner cities. These month-long residencies are structured to allow artists to engage deeply with local communities, understand their unique environmental challenges, and create artworks that reflect these experiences. The residencies are split into research and production phases, enabling artists to develop works that not only resonate with local audiences but also contribute to a global conversation on climate change and environmental sustainability. Interested in getting to know more? View our open call.

International Urban Labs

The International Urban Labs (IUL) are designed as a fusion of digital and in-person collaborations, creating a global platform for dialogue and learning. These labs bring together experts, artists, and local communities to share experiences and approaches in tackling climate change. The IULs serve as a crucible for innovative ideas, where the outcomes of Local Labs and cartopological mappings are presented and discussed. This format aims to foster international collaboration, exchange best practices and develop new strategies for using art as a tool to address the multifaceted challenges of climate change.
