🌈 FIVE/FÜNF/CINQ/CINQUE #CreativeClimateAction projects will be supported through a SEED GRANT from the #CreativeClimateLeadership Switzerland programme led by Julie's Bicycle, Vert le Futur, Stiftung Mercator Schweiz and Pro Helvetia.

These amazing seed projects reflect the exceptional range, depth & force of creativity of the swiss cultural ecosystem.

Let's take a closer look…

🌱 The Melt Down - a talk show hosted by hybrid drag sensation Soya the cow (artist Daniel Hellmann), bringing together guests from environmentalist, vegan, drag & entertainment communities to talk about climate justice, animal rights, gender equality & freedom of expression - over a meal of vegan fondue.

🌱 Music Declares Switzerland Artist Residency - a new collaboration between TOURBOmusic co-founder Caroline Edwards & Music Declares Switzerland co-founder Donat Kaufmann that will bring together a group of Swiss musicians to empower artist-led responses to the climate crisis.

🌱 Culture & Sustainability Policy Network Switzerland - a collaborative project led by artists Dorian Sari, Yves Regenass & curator Mateo Chacón Pino to organise 4 public ‘parliaments’ to imagine a future Swiss cultural sector based on sustainability & the cultural policy it might take to get there.

🌱 Move - a creative exploration from dancer Dawit Seto Gobeze fusing ritualistic movements, dance, workshops & storytelling that will bring together migrant communities in Switzerland to share their stories & actively participate in action on climate change.

🌱 Friends for Climate Justice - Crafting Toolkits for Culture-based Climate Actions - an emerging art collective led by Byungseo Yoo, Cassiane Pfund, and Léo Rebetez will run creative climate workshops to trigger culture-based actions by creating climate narratives.
