Politics of Green

Open/Juried exhibit

Challenges Artists to Address Environmental Issues

All things green (politically, ecologically, financially, holistically…) have come to a head, a crossroads, a climax of differing viewpoints and interests. As artists and citizens, it is our decision to confront and question the issues that affect our lives and society, especially in an ever more globalized world culture. The politics of green challenges us to address any of these issues in any medium, including video, installation and performance.

If you are considering an installation please contact a.s.a.p.:
