About

Climate Art Project, is a trans-disciplinary project between Art, Science and Environmental awareness conceived by the artist Andreco, inspired by the scientific and social studies about Climate Change adaptation and mitigation.
We organize international and local initiatives about Art, Science and Environment.
We collaborate with other associations, institutions, foundations and companies that are in the field of sustainability and ethical use of the natural resources.

Climate Art Project started in Paris in November 2015 during the Cop 21, the UN conference about Climatic Changes, and subsequently continued in Bologna and Bari.

Climate Art Project consists in the realization of various site specific interventions, including installations in the urban space, performance, wall paintings and talks which aim to create a connection between science and art, a dialogue that translates into works inspired by the latest scientific researches on the causes and the effects of climatic changes.

Andreco’s aim for this project is to underline the weaknesses of the territory where his interventions will take place and the possible climate actions. While in Bari the main theme was the accelerating desertification caused by the rising temperatures, in Venice the artist’s focus is the sea level rise.

Climate Art Project wants to contribute to the international and local debate on climate justice and climate actions.

Climate Art Project since 2018 is also a cultural association based in Rome, Italy, that develop local projects (globally connected) between art, science and environmental advocacy.
