Title & Description
Open Call: "Demokratie und Klima" (Democracy and Climate)
This international open call invites artists to submit works for a juried group exhibition exploring the intersection of the climate crisis and democratic stability. As authoritarian tendencies rise globally, this exhibition examines how sustainable solutions rely on open discussion and citizen participation. The project aims to use artistic means to inform the public about climate policy, combat disinformation, and encourage dialogue on individual and collective agency in protecting the planet's future.
