The Climate Art Web (CAW/WAC) is a network that brings together artists living in northern Turtle Island (Canada) who are invested in creating projects that relate to climate change, environmental justice, sustainability and place-based care and relationship.
CAW is currently in the process of designing and launching an online mapping resource of artists, projects and organizations related to climate art in northern Turtle Island. The online mapping resource is being crafted alongside and in conversation with Indigenous knowledge keepers and ecological mapping practices.
CAW Exists To:
1) discuss and share artistic projects that address the combined crises we face;
2) offer visioning with regard to ecologically-sensitive and/or ecologically-inspired ways of both living and making art;
3) honour, acknowledge and learn from indigenous-led artistic practices that work in concert with the land;
4) share ecologically-oriented best practices from diverse cultures;
5) exchange ideas about facilitating art-making between and across geographical and cultural regions; and
6) share ideas about art-making with minimal/sustainable resource use and environmental impact.
