Artists working with interventions, activism and other participatory practices are invited to apply for participation in New Life Cancun.
Artists and activists are invited to explore its social architecture and suggest work proposals of an awareness, educational and/or practical-action nature designed around the topic: “New Ways Of Living Together”.
This experimental hospitality project will take place during the UN Climate Change summit (COP 16) in Cancún, Mexico from 29 November to 10 December, 2010.
Objective
In continuation of Wooloo's New Life Copenhagen festival - in which we secured housing for more than 3.000 activists coming to the Copenhagen summit - New Life Cancun is aiming to connect visiting activists and NGO employees with local families in the area of Cancún.
An area infamous for its vulnerability to climate disasters (mainly hurricanes), as well as for the high CO2 emissions associated with its tourism sector.
Utilizing this meeting of hosts and guests in Cancun as our exhibition platform, artists and activists are invited to explore its social architecture and suggest work proposals of an awareness, educational and/or practical-action nature designed around the topic: “New Ways Of Living Together”.
Prizes
Up to five artists will be selected for participation and will get all travel, accomodation and production costs covered by Wooloo.
Rules
- Individuals or groups working with interventions, activism and other participatory practices are invited to apply for participation.
How to enter?
Proposals must include a detailed budget. As fundraising efforts are still ongoing, the size of our final production budget is still unknown. However, it won't be large - so please be aware that your project must be able to be realized in a low-budget manner!
