OPEN CALL: EXHIBITION `ART FOR A CLIMATE-SOCIAL CITY´

We invite artists to join us in shaping the future of a just and sustainable world: The exhibition Art for a Climate-Social City seeks bold, thought-provoking artistic contributions that take a stand on the intertwined crises of climate change and social justice. The exhibition is part of the research project “Klimasoziales Linz”, which stems from the book “Klimasoziale Politik” (2021) 1. Both the book and the project explore the multiple ways climate and social issues intersect and propose forward-thinking political measures for creating climate-social futures.

SPECULATE, INTERVENE, POINT OUT, STIR UP, COMMUNICATE, . . .!
We welcome artistic expressions that make climate-social futures visible and tangible in everyday urban life. Art for a Climate-Social City seeks to engage the public, foster dialogue, strengthen activist’s positions, and challenge perspectives on how climate and social justice intersect, particularly in urban spaces.

A jury of experts will select works that align clearly with the exhibition’s theme. We are particularly interested in projects with a connection to the city of Linz. We encourage submissions across a wide range of media, including but not limited to: painting, sculpture, photography, installation, video, performance, experimental literature, digital art. Each artist or collective may submit up to three pieces of work.
