Artistic creation, cultural practices and sustainable development – IFORE Conference

Within the framework of the European week of sustainable development, the IFORE proposes to shed light on the links between art and ecology.

This day of May 30 is part of a cycle entitled “For a shared culture of

entitled “For a shared culture of sustainable development”.

Changing behaviors to achieve sustainable development goals requires a transformation of society, primarily cultural. Indeed, culture modifies our representations, shapes the imaginary and the collective narrative(s).

The artistic practice, by weaving links between populations, favors the appropriation of environmental stakes, the resilience of territories, the resolution of conflicts of use… The aesthetic emotion touches the intimate and puts us face to face with the essential, with what exceeds us and with what it is our responsibility to protect. It sometimes takes over when the scientific arguments are no longer heard.
