ARTISTS at COP17, DURBAN

In the spirit of collaboration and creative solidarity and also in an effort to distinguish the unique contributions as Artists to COP17, COPART will host an open platform for all local and visiting artists to share plans, collaborate and, if needed, support each other in performances or activities.

 

HOSTED BY THE  COPART MOVEMENT

The broad sphere of sustainability oftentimes responds to the symptoms of climate change and environmental decline, or perhaps the structural or technical elements of our system, aiming to try 'fix' the problems, as if only a single component is 'broken'.  Yet we all know the social and natural world is too complex and organic to be treated like a broken toaster.

While many are responding to the technological, scientific, economic and political responses to climate change, artists are working with the systemic cultural foundations that underpin meaningful social change.

Everyone with an imagination is welcome to this open exchange 

WHERE: STUDIO 5 THEATRE at UKZN, DURBAN
WHEN: 29th November 201,  9h30-12h30
Invitation to artists of all disciplines who will be at COP17.

In these last few weeks of run-up to COP17, Project 90 by 2030 is collaborating with a number of other organisations who are concerned about what we leave behind for future generations. They’re taking key questions about our electricity future (and the obvious influence that this has on emissions for South Africa, and all aspects of social and economic justice), to members of Parliament!

Join on Saturday!
