PLANTING SEEDS, Arts & Climate Action Circle organised by ART NOW! in collaboration with Impact Hub Zurich, connecting artists and art lovers engaged in protecting and restoring life on Earth.

„POWER OF SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT”

Why do some artworks capture attention and some pass unnoticed? Why do some of them affect us only temporarily and why do others leave a lifetime mark, influencing who we are? The point of contact between art and the viewer - how does this mechanism work? Where is the thin line between manipulation and inspiration?

Let's take a closer look at the fascinating topic of social engagement from three different perspectives and reflect on how to use our creative power responsibly. Our exceptional guests will guide us through this broad field of exploration:

• Daniel Hellmann aka Soya the Cow
Drag cow, singer, feminist and activist for animal liberation

• Panayotis Antoniadis
Co-founder of NetHood, President of L200 Association, Ecosystem facilitator at ETH Zürich

• Valérie Caminada
Event Coordinator at Planted

• Mark Damon Harvey
Interventions, Consulting & Project Management, Arts & Permaculture

Agenda:
19:00 PLANTING SEEDS intro
19:15 Guest talks & thoughts exchange
20:30-22:00 Apero

Catering: Plant-based only
 
Art Touch: Drawing veggies live on site by Aline Telek from fil-rouge.ch

Experiment: Hello, pillow!
Let’s try out a new way of interaction and change the perspective from which we view the world. Please bring a pillow, a mat, a blanket - anything that you feel comfortable with when sitting on the floor. Let’s see whether it stimulates us to new thoughts and behaviours. If not, we will be back on the chairs next time. You are the boss 😉

Travel: We kindly recommend arriving at the lab as environmentally friendly as possible: walking, biking, by public transport. Teleportation enthusiasts are more than welcome;)
