Join us at the online opening of the European project Art Living Lab for Sustainability, where the three artistic commissions on natural commons that took place in Belgium, Spain and France will be presented by the mediators, commissioners and artists involved in the projects, along with the Green Art Commission Toolkit developed for the initiative. 

Mabel Tapia, independent curator and researcher, will be holding a conference titled Practicing earth and ‘‘hanging the sky’’. Poetics and politics of the commons in which se will center on some issues and questions raised by the Art Living Lab for Sustainability projects. Reflections by thinker and activist Ailton Krenak, will set out elements to start a discussion.

The commission's artists Asunción Molinos Gordo, Michael Beutler and Disnovation.org will join the conversation and share their experiences with the project.

This online event is part of the European project 'Art Living Lab for Sustainability', financed by the 'Creative Europe' program of the European Union, whose challenge is to meet three community management mechanisms: that of the mountain with 'Tierra Común' (Monte Neighborhood of Couso, Galicia, Spain); clay with 'Clay Commons' (Boom, Flanders, Belgium); and water with 'Water Commons' (Alto Jura Regional Natural Park, France), through participatory processes in these territories, which will result in three works of art that respond to the needs of these communities and territories.
