Open Call for Residency and Exhibition “Paths to Sustainability”
Residency 19. 7. 2019 – 15.8. 2019

Many people seek fulfillment in consumption. Some people are already seeking and practicing life in harmony with the borders of our earth. They are accompanied on this way by advice, role models, suggestions and dogmas. How do we decide, what convinces us? What does a sustainable lifestyle look like for an ecologically, socially and economically sustainable society?
Residence and exhibition address this search for ways to sustainability, the obstacles and detours, the doubts and beliefs. The call is aimed at artists who work in the field of sustainability and economics.
Sustainability means understanding ecological boundaries and orienting ourselves towards social justice. We define economics as an organization of care for people. The way we do business is crucial to whether we can meet global boundaries and whether social justice is possible.

Overnight stay, food and working space at the Academy for Sufficiency in rural surroundings for three artists.
