The Artists working group invites you to a session - Can Artists Sustain Sustainable Art?

Initiated at the Belgrade Plenary in 2022, the Artists working group is a network of IETM members who identify primarily as artists. The group addresses topics connected to the performing arts sector from an artists’ point of view. It aims to create positive dialogue with other professionals in the field, and - in this meeting - questions what kind of “sustainability” they want to pursue.

Environmental sustainability only exists in tandem with social and economic sustainability. Living on the Edge describes the precarity artists face. There is a gap between what the system asks and what the system affords artists.

Therefore - is the performing arts’ ecosystem in good health? Can we find ways of “re-greening” our working biosphere in order for it to flourish? We invite you to investigate these questions from a local, intercultural and transcontinental perspective through a creative game based on the World Cafe method.
