«LIVING ON THE EDGE
We are living on the edge of a
global climate crisis, but its effects are not evenly felt around the world.
For some, the impacts are still lurking under the surface, while for others the
consequences are felt right now. In a deep travesty of justice, the countries
and communities that are currently most affected by climate change are the ones
who bear little or no responsibility for causing it.
Back in 2020, the IETM Satellite Galway meeting
explored the relationship between artists, the arts ecosystem and the planet.
Together we identified that climate change is a cultural problem as much as it
is a technical one.
Now, the IETM Aarhus Plenary
Meeting 2023 invites you to discuss and digest the ethical and practical role
of the performing arts – and of the artist – in the face of climate
emergency.
To what extent could - and should -
the arts be instrumental in the green transition? What measures can we take as
a global network to include questions around ethics and justice in the debate
around environmental sustainability? How can the performing arts provide
opportunities for less-heard voices in order to reach new audiences? Where do
we turn for knowledge that will support us in taking immediate steps to lower
the environmental impact of our work?
The IETM Aarhus Plenary Meeting
2023 presents a programme that aims to provoke new thoughts and inspire action,
awareness and positive impact. Together we will dive into existing arts
practices, discuss production methods and exchange artistic strategies that
walk the talk. Alongside the Plenary Meeting we will present an artistic
programme of thematically relevant performances.
In all this we partner with voices
from Greenland and the Faroe Islands with whom Denmark shares a colonial
history - a complicated relationship that may resonate in many parts of the
world. Climate change is not only an environmental problem; it also interacts
with concepts of power, injustice and resources. If ignored, these underlying
structures may very well keep us re-enacting the same patterns time and again.
Join us on this four day
exploration of the arts as a game changer, an experience simulator, an
influencer; or simply a kick in the butt». Saiba mais.
