In collaboration with the Open Society Foundations, the Prince Claus Fund presents “Art for Climate Justice – Reimagining Sustainable Futures”, a week of exchanges, connections, and inspirations culminating in a public event that explores alternative solutions for the climate crisis rooted in artistic practices and ancestral knowledge.
Open Society Foundation’s Soros Arts Fellows and Prince Claus Fund CAREC Fellows will meet with a variety of local changemakers and organisations in Belém do Pará, Brazil between 16-21 September, aiming to foster South-to-South connections, exchange methodologies and experiences on articulating non-hegemonic forms of knowledge to envision models of climate justice locally and globally.
It is no coincidence that the event takes place a year prior to the 2025 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Belém do Pará, one of the main cities of the Amazon region in Brazil. The programme aims to connect the different practices and realities, focusing on topics such as land rights, models of social and economic development and its socio-environmental impact as well as environmental racism and greenwashing.
The Forum will include a two-day public event between 20-21 September that highlights the importance of cultural agents’ and artists’ contributions in responding to the realities of the social-environmental struggles, involving activities spanning workshops, performances, screenings, panel discussions, and presentations.
