TBG Food for Thought: ‘We want to do resilient cultural work that is sensitive to the burning issues of our time’

With our flagship project, The Big Green, we are bringing environmentally-engaged artists under one large-scale umbrella initiative and experiment with innovative ways of using art to promote sustainability. But what does it mean for us on a personal level? We asked our partners to write us a few lines about what art and sustainability and their relationship mean to them. Now, let us share the thoughts of Christina Jaritsch (Salzkammergut 2024):

Selected artists of The Big Green project yearly theme ‘SOIL’

Soil is one of the most sensitive and large organs on this planet. Disturbed ecosystems as well as disturbed balances are reflected in its deteriorating quality. Polluted soils, deforestation, degraded soil, conflict over resources, and agricultural monoculture: a lot of the climate change processes that are occurring can be linked to soil. At the same time, soil stores more than three times the amount of carbon than there is present in the atmosphere. Wetlands can be more effective carbon sinks than forests and a thriving soil improves the resilience against climate change, biodiversity and water quality.

TBG Food for Thought: ‘For me, to live sustainable means to slow down, look around, appreciate what I have and what surrounds me’

With our flagship project, The Big Green, we are bringing environmentally-engaged artists under one large-scale umbrella initiative and experiment with innovative ways of using art to promote sustainability. But what does it mean for us on a personal level? We asked our partners to write us a few lines about what art and sustainability and their relationship mean to them. Now, let us share Egle Kryzanauskaite’s (zusa) thoughts:

VIR – Opera Hackathon

VIR is an opera hackathon, which is based on the concept of open work with parts containing verbal instructions, sheet music – classical music notes and graphic symbols. The improvisational parts will be carried out within the “already prepared” sound-painting live composing language. In addition the artists use specially reconstructed or newly created instruments made for this occasion by the amazing Bélaműhely.
