OPEN CALL: Feed Your Future – School of Artivism

Engaging Youth for Creative Climate Action

NEW deadline: July 28, 2025

Are you an artist under 35 with a drive to engage with climate action, justice, and collective transformation?

Join the School of Artivism, an international laboratory for artists ready to take action in the face of the climate emergency. As part of the Feed Your Future project, this free online program explores how art can foster systemic change, encourage sustainable practices, and inspire communities.

From September to October 2025, 20 selected participants will engage in 8 interactive sessions on topics such as ecological justice, post-growth art, sustainable food systems, and more. The course blends tools, case studies, and co-creation in a dynamic, practice-based format.

We welcome artists and art collectives from Europe and the Mediterranean, and from all disciplines, all identities, all backgrounds.

Curated by curator Julia Rajacic and artist Tiziana Pers, the programme brings together guest artists, thinkers, and activist practitioners to share tools, stories, and strategies for systemic transformation.

This is not a school of theory, but a space for repairing, reimagining, and co-creating — a temporary yet lasting community of artists ready to act with courage, care, and creativity.
