Can art save the planet?

We invite you to OP ENHEIM to a conference on ecology and art. It will inaugurate a several-month-long project intended to establish how activists, managers of cultural institutions and artists can influence society in an era of ongoing climate change. Together, we will find out whether art and culture have the power to heal.

Recently, there has been a noticeable increase in initiatives devoted to ecology, the Anthropocene and the current or potential role of art and culture in formulating new good habits. However, do these events actually translate into building ecological awareness, good practices or social responsibility? And if so – to what extent? Are they still just a drop in the ocean of needs? What help can art offer?

In order to answer these questions, we have invited experts from Poland and Germany to OP ENHEIM, who will try to answer these questions as well as the eponymous one: Can art save the planet?

Can Art Save the Planet is a series of events addressing some of the challenges faced by art and culture in an era of ongoing climate change. The public programme consists of events introducing environment-related issues in a way that will enable the exchange of experiences between Poland and Germany. The programme concentrates on issues pertaining to art, culture and social responsibility. Good international practices are extremely important, because they can set a positive example and ensure the sustainability of our actions.

As part of the project, a series of podcasts and an online publication will be created.

The programme is conducted in cooperation with the Foundation for Polish-German Cooperation as part of the project line “30 Years of the Treaty – 30 Years of the FPGC” carried out by Goethe Institute Krakow and the Municipality of Wrocław.
