The Artists working group invites you to a session - Can Artists Sustain Sustainable Art?

Initiated at the Belgrade Plenary in 2022, the Artists working group is a network of IETM members who identify primarily as artists. The group addresses topics connected to the performing arts sector from an artists’ point of view. It aims to create positive dialogue with other professionals in the field, and - in this meeting - questions what kind of “sustainability” they want to pursue.

Environmental sustainability only exists in tandem with social and economic sustainability. Living on the Edge describes the precarity artists face. There is a gap between what the system asks and what the system affords artists.

Therefore - is the performing arts’ ecosystem in good health? Can we find ways of “re-greening” our working biosphere in order for it to flourish? We invite you to investigate these questions from a local, intercultural and transcontinental perspective through a creative game based on the World Cafe method.

Participatory and Immersive Processes in Rural Areas

Location: Remisen, Godsbanen    Interested participants

Location: Remisen, Godsbanen    Interested participants

Address: Godsbanen, Skovgaardsgade 3, Indgang 3A, Aarhus | Event Map | Venue Accessibility

This interactive session will be co-facilitated by IETM's PIC group and the AREA-network. The session will delve into the overall themes of the IETM Aarhus Plenary Meeting by focussing on two participative practises of artists working in rural areas. The group will then explore the presented material through a collaborative process, developing creative actions in response to themes that at times feel beyond our capacity. 

AREA-network supports arts in rural areas by creating exchanges of experiences, researching working methods and stimulating the advocacy on a local, regional, national and European level. AREA includes all disciplines. Members of AREA are artists, creators, organisers, policymakers and scientists. 

The Participatory and Immersive Creation group (PIC) aims to provide a space for IETM members to tackle central issues we have in creating, presenting and producing this genre of work, through open discussions, experience sharing, and creative exchanges.

IETM Environmental Working Group: writing a common charter

After a successful first launch at IETM Belgrade and a series of informative webinars leading up to IETM Aarhus, the IETM Environmental Working Group is committed to creating an international environmental charter for IETM Environmental Working Group, which will hopefully inspire others in the IETM network.

We encourage all members to participate in this joint effort by providing a broad range of perspectives to shape the guidelines of the charter.

Let's consider what we can sacrifice to lessen the environmental impact of the performing arts and address inequalities by redistributing responsibilities.

This session will act as a space for sharing best practices and practical solutions for making the performing arts sector more environmentally friendly at every level.

Through an open call, to be launched after the Aarhus Plenary, selected projects will benefit from a capacity building programme including training opportunities and mentorship. 

During the session, you can expect to receive information about the programme's content and timeline, as well as a dedicated space where you can ask any questions you may have about the IETM Green School.
