Climate Art Fest

8 – 16 October 2022
Arca Futuris at Sandtorhafen Hamburg

In this time, which is fundamentally shaped by anthropogenic environmental damage, climate change, species extinction and advancing technologization, we need to find new ways to share knowledge and experience and to discuss them together. With the new, international and cross-disciplinary art festival “Climate Art Fest”, we are creating a place for this. As an inclusive, playful art platform, the festival stands for collective, cross-generational art experiences that can make abstract global issues tangible.
ClimateArtFest is open to all artists and art forms (e.g. text, dance, performance, music, image, film, artistic research, etc.). Through this interdisciplinarity and the intertwining of art and science, this festival will collectively negotiate future issues.
The festival invites Hamburg artists* to contribute their works and projects in an open call. In combination with curated positions of international artists and an extended supporting program, a diverse, multifaceted program will emerge as an artistic contribution to the debate of importance to society as a whole.

LOCATION
As the central venue, the historic harbor barge Arca Futuris – about 6m wide and almost 30m long – will be transformed into a modular space offering space for the performances, exhibition formats, discussions, projections and exchange. As an ark of climate change, the harbor barge will be moored in Hamburg’s HafenCity for the duration of the festival. Together with other cargo and working ships, stages, exhibition venues, workshop spaces and meeting points will thus be temporarily created in the middle of the city.

Hier vielleicht mit Team? Ich hab die Kuration mitgemacht, aber das ist ja nicht mein Festival.
