How to react through a cultural and artistic approach to the challenges of a society increasingly disturbed on the ecological level? How can scientific research be enhanced by contemporary art projects? And how do artists and cultural institutions contribute to solving ecological and environmental issues? It is through an approach of the activist artist and his entourage (institutions, associations, researchers) that we try to understand and identify the role of ecological activism in art and in contemporary society.
