Program Description

Climate change is indisputably a problem that is largely created by a privileged elite from the Global North, but it disproportionately impacts nations and regions in the South, alongside those in the north who have least resources to protect themselves from its effects. How might artists, wherever they come from, mobilise the local knowledge of individuals and communities from the Global South as they act in relation to climate crisis? How can they absorb and/or deploy globally interconnected knowledge and skills without reproducing the imperialist concepts and practices that underpinned colonial modernity? Developed with the Asia Pacific Artistic Research Network (APARN), PRAKSIS residency 30, Climate / Coloniality invites artists to consider sustainability in the context of critical approaches to colonial knowledge, and explore new modes of community-engaged practice on a planet under threat.
