Bringing together art, technology and science, S+T+ARTS4WaterII – Ports in Transformation is dedicated to tackling the complex environmental and societal challenges present in Europe’s ports and port cities.
About the project
We find ourselves at a pivotal juncture in our connection with nature, technology, and humanity, where it’s increasingly evident that our current lifestyle is unsustainable and demands urgent reconsideration. It’s imperative to redefine innovation to pave the way for a sustainable future. This ambitious objective necessitates united efforts and unwavering determination. Now more than ever, it’s vital for researchers, industry leaders, technology providers, and the cultural sphere to reimagine innovation, laying the groundwork for a more sustainable future. S+T+ARTS4WaterII facilitates interdisciplinary collaboration, collective critical thinking, research, experimentation, and co-design led by artists through collaborative art residencies, international educational workshops, exhibitions, conferences, and networking activities that bring together artists, researchers, stakeholders, and ICT experts. These collaborations focus on addressing specific local or regional water challenges and envisioning future water management through creative, critical artistic works, novel digital solutions and public engagement.
Residencies
In the framework of this project GLUON, in collaboration with a number of local and international stakeholders from culture, research and industries is launching four Open Calls for Belgian and/or international artists. Together with experts from the different disciplines, artists will imagine and develop projects that offer creative approaches regarding sustainabilty challenges in water management and healthy transformations in the different contexts.
Artists can apply to the Open Call until June 26th!
