The concept
creating a sustainable future through Art
With sustainability and the concern over the climate crisis increasingly entering the artistic discourse, the question of sustainable art is now ever-present. In light of ecological art, we turn to artists who engage in sustainable artistic practices to tackle the urgency of climate change.
Having waste and the absurd volume in which it is being made as one of the main concerns around the act of consumption and creating art, many artists now turn to more environmentally conscious ways of being creative. The OTRart project showcases 6+6 artists who work with recycled material, creating eco-conscious art.
Why art?
Art can wonderfully reflect the beauty of nature, illustrate what threatens it and arouse feelings and concerns about its future. In other words, art can be a powerful tool for raising awareness, informing and motivating everyone on this planet to think, worry and take action to protect the environment in which they live, and this applies to all age groups.
