Open Call for the MATCH
Mediterranean as the Climate Hotspot
MATCH is a transnational arts project that connects artists to community gardens as a response to the climate crisis in 5 Mediterranean Cities: Athens, Nicosia, Marseille, Barcelona and Izmir.
The Mediterranean is a climate hotspot. This is a statement that, today, no one challenges. It is a complex issue that, with its political, social and environmental components, does not allow for one single solution. We believe that, alongside other actions that must be undertaken to mitigate the climate crisis, community engagement and regenerative practices are vital to enable the necessary societal change to address this “hot” issue.
MATCH: Mediterranean as the Climate Hotspot brings together artists, cultural organisations and community gardens to build awareness and engagement around regenerative, self-sufficient, and community-based ways of life through arts practice, through the development of a new set of ethics, and by sharing knowledge specific to the Mediterranean climate and cultures.
MATCH will support 10 artists to develop, co-create and present new artworks to empower community action on climate change, through transnational artistic residencies and exhibitions. The selected artists will also take part in an integrated linked capacity building programme, which offers opportunities for shared learning on cultural and grassroots work that responds proactively to the climate emergency. A feedback learning process will lead to the design of a (policy) framework focusing on climate change, culture and the arts.
Over 18 months, MATCH will unfold across Cyprus, France, Greece, Italy, Spain and Turkey, but will benefit the wider Mediterranean enabling a transnational network of artists, cultural and creative professionals to reflect on the relations between climate change, culture and the arts.
