“Soft” Deadline: April 22, 2024
We encourage artists and activists to be in touch with us prior to April 22nd; however, we will continue to consider proposals submitted after April 22nd through mid-July.
Artwork and Activism Contributions
Artists and activists/community organizers can contribute to the Climate Hope conference in three ways:
- Artists can exhibit one or more pieces of climate art in a session mixed with academic poster presentations and organization exhibitions, where participants in the conference walk by and discuss with the artists about their work.
- Activists can exhibit their organization’s work in a session mixed with academic poster presentations and artwork exhibitions, where participants in the conference walk by and discuss with the activists about their organization’s work.
- They can apply for a regular presentation, where they do not only exhibit one or more pieces of art and/or organizing stories, but also explain the background of this work; the messages it wants to convey; how it fits into their complete body of work; what inspires them as an artist/activist; how they see the role of art/activism in the climate crisis; etc.
Artwork Contributions
We define climate art broadly to include not only artwork, but also works in design, craft, and illustration. The binding principle is that the work is created primarily to contribute to the climate debate. Works may include, but are not limited to: drawings, design, handcrafts, illustrations, computer graphics, film, paintings, prints, sculptures, and textiles. The selections of artworks will be determined by a panel of artists.
All submissions should be made electronically via email to the local conference email address (tilburg@climatehope2024.com or ubc@climatehope2024.com), along with information about the artists name, contact details, the title of artwork (if any), and a clear picture of the artwork. Images should be JPEG files with a dimension of at least 1800 pixels and no more than 2400 pixels in the larger direction, saved with maximum quality within these constraints. Should a URL be more convenient for submission than an image, for example due to the nature of the artwork, please provide this URL clearly in your submission e-mail.
Activism Contributions
Activists/community organizations interested in participating should contact the conference organizers directly at tilburg@climatehope2024.com or ubc@climatehope2024.com by the deadline to discuss how their work can be best incorporated into the conference.
