Cluj Cultural | Centre Sustainable Urban Living

Artists from Romania and Iceland to collaborate on artworks about sustainable urban living
Art plays a vital role in making climate concepts relatable by blending scientific insights with creative interpretation, encouraging reflection and action. It highlights eco-friendly practices, reimagines sustainable living, and underscores the urgency of addressing climate change. 

The call looks for teams of two or more artists from Romania and Iceland working collaboratively to create and deliver artworks or art interventions engaging audiences around the theme of sustainable urban living. The aim is to encourage individuals and communities to envision and embrace a more sustainable way of life through the power of art. We aim to inspire audiences to look at sustainability not as a trend, but a necessity for our collective future. 

The call looks for original works, new or already in development, from or combining artistic disciplines such as public arts, visual arts, and performance art, which will be exhibited or publicly presented in Cluj-Napoca, Romania in early 2025.
