COP21: SUMMIT OF CREATIVES

ARTPORT_making waves Co-Founder and Co-Director Anne-Marie Melster will participate in the opening ceremony talk together with speakers like – Cynthia Rosenzweig, climatologist (GIEC, NASA), David Buckland (Cape Farewell) and others.

GOOD FOOD COP23 BONN

The panel, as part of the general program GOOD FOOD COP23, explored creative solutions and methods that can inspire change in behavior and policy towards food production and consumption as the world faces severe challenges due to climate change. How can local experts from diverse disciplines – art, science, education, policy, and agriculture – and regions whose work focuses on food production and consumption in one way or another, come together and tap into potential synergies for common goals? These discussions generally leave out the artist’s voice. We always want to include it and also ask if and how art can be a catalyst for change in this field.

GOOD FOOD INDIA

As a commission for GOOD FOOD COP23 by ARTPORT_making waves, the artist Sam Hopkins (UK/Kenya) has developed the installation The Ministry of Plastic (touring exhibition) which stages a future in which the finite reserves of the world have been depleted. The Ministry of Plastic (touring exhibition) displays a collection of confiscated plastic objects, videos, and texts to inculcate future citizens with a sense of responsibility about how to use plastic appropriately. This performative installation represents an amnesty for citizens who have unlawfully removed plastic from the increasingly perfect system of consumption and production. Visitors to the installation should be aware that they may be required to divest themselves of any unlawful plastic which may consequently be exhibited as an example to the greater public.
