COALITION, 15 years of art and ecology

Revealing the power of art – the power not only to alert and denounce, but also to repair and connect through gestures of care and sharing, through the power of belief at a time when knowledge alone is no longer enough to motivate action – is the challenge of the COALITION exhibition and of the commitments made by COAL over the last 15 years.

The diversity of artistic practices linked to ecology is abundant, in terms of both content and format, making any definition or categorisation complex. The COALITION exhibition embraces the profusion of gestures, words, actions and practices that make up ‘ecological’ art. From political and symbolic action to resilience practices, witnessing, alerting and transformative practices, a new generation of artists is today helping to make change visible, to build a new collective narrative, a developing common heritage, a conscious, positive and necessary framework for everyone to find the means and inspiration to implement transformations towards a more sustainable and fairer world.

This monumental exhibition, enriched by a wide-ranging programme, is taking over the emblematic space of the Gaîté Lyrique. It is curated by Lauranne Germond, co-founder and director of COAL, and Sara Dufour, curator and programme director of the association.
