Narrarives and livable futures: artistic collaborations on the topic of sustainabilty

Arts of Change is a coaching programme for music and art students. For six years, it has been aplatform for bringing together various disciplines from arts and science with the goal of findingcreative ways to explore the topic of sustainability.

Following the theme of scenarios for a liveable future, participants worked on specific projects insmall groups. Over a period of nine months, we took care of shared spaces, spent time togetherand created meaningful art projects. The structure of the programme gives participating artiststhe motivation to find common topics, fields of interest and media.

This exhibition represents the result of joint research, experimentation and communication efforts of 23 participants in five working groups, with contributions by alumni and scientists.
