Art and sustainability – The school of good taste
The experimental workshop in co-production with "Studio Instabil" in the "Gärten der Gemeinschaft" at the UW/H explores the social relevance of artistic concepts and initiatives around the topic of sustainability. The following aspects of social and cultural urban development stand center stage:
How can we artistically connect with nature, landscape, soil, and urban agriculture?
How can the artistic perspective help to tackle the globally pressing questions and help others to think, act and produce more sustainably?
How can creative sustainability motivate people to participate with fun and joy.
The event is the prelude to an artistic intervention on the farmland between the university and Christopherus-Hof, with a duration until summer 2027. Together, we will explore the history of the clay pit and the urban agricultural park and create a truly nourishing work of art.
