MATCH is a transnational arts initiative connecting artists with community gardens across five Mediterranean cities—Athens, Nicosia, Marseille, Barcelona, and Izmir—as a creative response to the climate crisis.
This project supports artists in developing new artworks that empower community action on climate change through transnational residencies, exhibitions, and a shared capacity-building programme.
Over the next 18 months, MATCH will unfold across Cyprus, France, Greece, Italy, Spain, and Turkey, fostering a transnational network of cultural and creative professionals dedicated to exploring the relationship between climate change, culture, and the arts.
