About the project:
Turning the Tide (TTT) is an ambitious artistic intervention and transdisciplinary dialogue that aims to creatively respond to the specific threat of the climate crisis in waterfront cities. The project aims to engage local residents, amplify unheard voices and raise awareness of climate issues in waterfront cities. Through a collaborative effort in four cities, TTT uses a cultural planning methodology and works with socially engaged artists to lead an international experiment that explores the potential contributions of artists and local communities, residents to the climate change narrative, and explores climate justice.
The TTT project includes 5 partner countries – Intercult (Sweden), Artit (Greece), Vienna Education Academy (Austria), DEAR HUNTER (Netherlands) and the Urban Culture Institute (Poland) in collaboration with Fablevision (Scotland) and the River//Cities Network.
