FUTURE COMMUNITY GARDEN

Jul 27

The FUTURE COMMUNITY GARDEN is imaginary vertical garden and public art-installation growing on the walls outside of Artica Svalbard. With the mountain Hiorthhamn as a backdrop, you can experience the colourful plant life designed by the children and families that remind us of the warmer places in the world and we invite you to think about how Svalbard's unique nature is transitioning and being challenged due to climate change.

The FUTURE COMMUNITY GARDEN is part of a larger three stage project commissioned by the Nordic Alliance of Artists' Residencies on Climate Action (NAARCA) and is taking place in Svalbard, Scotland, Iceland and Denmark throughout October. The longterm aim of this project is to create, from an art educational point of view, tools for climate change education that are integrated into daily teaching programs, and that are interdisciplinary, creative, informative, and empowering.

The FUTURE COMMUNITY GARDEN is created together with Artica Svalbard

In collaboration with: The Nordic Alliance of Artists' Residencies on Climate Action (NAARCA) and Longyearbyen School
