State of the art

Changing weathers reflected and explored potential adaptation and change strategies connected to geophysical, geopolitical and technological cultureshifts across Europe.

Description of the project

The project explored environmental changes and society’s resilience by researching the status of the changing cultural landscape of Europe, taking into account the shifting geophysical, geopolitical and technological vectors that are shaping it. It did so through workshops, open field-based conferences, residencies, exhibitions and cultural actions as well as a programme of (commissioned) artworks, strategies and dynamic infrastructures to reshape sustainable cultural practices and initiate exchanges between different stakeholders. These created a project that interconnects high and low culture, art & science, local & traditional knowledge with scientific approaches to the understanding of natural and social systems.

CW was an interdisciplinary project, exploring new and different kinds of contemporary ecological thinking, as well as use of traditional knowledge.

Creative Europe’s support

The project could not have happened without Creative Europe's support. Not only did it encourage close cooperation and mutual work between different organisations, it was also crucial for knowledge-transfer and the crosspollination of ideas, which was the focus of the project.

Beyond Environmental Sustainability

Digitalisation was inherently one of the important topics, not just as in acquisition of basic skills, but also in spreading the use of more advanced methods, such as remote sensing.
