PARTNERS
Research Station (Greenland)
Artists’ residencies are exceptional institutions within the arts sector, as they have the opportunity to test, to practice, and to evaluate new types of behaviour and sustainable lifestyles in a safe environment where private, professional and public life intertwine.
→ Art Commissions &
Knowledge Production
New art and writing commissions from researchers and activists from all countries involved plus a podcast series.
→ Residency Exchanges
We exchange residents from artistic, academic and scientific backgrounds selected to specifically tackle the
issues at stake and to push the boundaries of cross-sector
cooperation.
→ Pedagogy
Collectively produced and shared digital resources and curricula for young people, families, students and teachers that will help disseminate information and influence actions around climate change.
The NAARCA project strives to embed the understanding of the four pillars of sustainability – ecological, social, psychological, and cultural – in all the work we do.
