Culture360.org : Arts and environment by on the move

In August, culture360.org presents the third selection of the series entitled Curating culture360.org.

Selected content ‘curators’ review and reflect on the news, articles and opportunities from Asia and Europe they discover on culture360.org. The curators then present a personal content selection, following a theme or narrative driven by their own artistic interests and direction. culture360.org intends to publish Curating culture360.org every two months, inviting artists and cultural commentators from Europe and Asia in turn.

This month the On the Move team, Marie Le Sourd and Elena Di Federico present a new exciting curatorial journey of culture360.org.

On The Move towards the necessary interconnection between Arts and Environment

The core mission of the network On The Move is to facilitate and improve the conditions for the mobility of artists and culture professionals across Europe and the world, through a free information service and advocacy actions. On The Move (OTM) is currently developing, together with its 34 members and associated partners, a Charter for Sustainable and Responsible Cultural Mobility, to be launched in early 2013, tackling social, policy and environmental issues connected to mobility.

Considering environment, one of the pillars of “sustainability”, OTM is particularly interested in exploring which environmental issues are at stake when cultural mobility – and cultural exchange at large – take place, and how they can be taken into account by different mobility actors. Environmental concerns can form the backbone of a stronger connection between Asia and Europe through arts and culture: both culture and the environment are cross-sector concerns, and the exchange and mutual inspiration within and between the policy and the grassroots level across the two regions can be highly significant and fruitful.

We kept all this in mind when selecting the articles and news from culture360.org and other sources. We invite you to take some time to get inspired and (to continue) to take action!
