Applications are now open for the Cultural & Artistic Responses To The Environmental Crisis (CAREC) Program 2024. This year-long program aims to accelerate engaged community-based cultural practices focusing on climate justice, acknowledging the multifaceted dimensions of the environmental crisis.
CAREC envisions alternative models of climate justice worldwide through interdisciplinary platforms, critical artistic work, and cross-disciplinary exchange. A few examples of how this program integrates interaction to support each artist in their own practice and to foster collaboration within the cohort are workshops, guest lectures, and peer-to-peer sessions.
CAREC Program Details
The majority of events take place virtually. However, participants meet in person twice during the program for two Lab Weeks, which are rigorous mentoring sessions lasting a week.
Activities for the Cultural & Artistic Responses to the Environmental Crisis (CAREC) Program, require an average time commitment of 10 hours per month, though this varies throughout the year.
Participants are expected to be comfortable sharing ideas in spoken English to foster a space of mutual learning and exchange.
