V4 Culture for Climate
online debates, meetings, films:
Social Scene of the 18th Edition of the SURVIVAL Art Review
? The aim of the project V4 Culture for Climate – Social Scene of the 18th Edition of the SURVIVAL Art Review is to create an open space for an artistic and scientific debate on the links between culture and climate change in the Visegrad countries. We have invited climate change specialists, artists, curators, journalists and culture managers from the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary to a series of nine meetings and debates. For four weeks, we will be engaged in intensive reflection on the meaning of culture and art on the brink of a climate disaster.
