Description

This project explores the collective force of multidisciplinary approach to arts education and activism. We will bring together an international team from Latvia and Norway from fields of contemporary circus and dance, comics, innovative technology and experts of ecology and sustainability to collaborate together and work with youngsters across Latvia around the topic of art activism for sustainability.

During the project we will create 6 laboratories/ workshops during which artists, experts, local professionals from rural areas and youngsters will work together to learn about climate change, sustainability, arts activism and explore artistic methods (circus, movement and comic books) in expressing their concerns and issues that they feel strongly about. The content that will be created during these laboratories will then be used as a source of inspiration for a comic book and a site-specific circus performance involving circus artists from Latvia and Norway.
