The Red Thread of Sustainability: Art, Culture, and Creativity Driving Regenerative Actions

About

On the brink of a massive change towards a green and sustainable transition of our industries and environments, towards climate mitigation and mitigation of the bio-diversity crisis, the summer school , taking place in this old textile hub, will cover aspects of design for the planet and for nature, of the rights to reuse, repair and recycle on a local and an international scale, of how the digital and the green transition interconnect in creative ways, of how sustainable placemaking and urban studies may leverage these connections between art, craft, culture, creativity and industry to also engage citizens in the transformative DNA of their city and region. Thus, the summer school will additionally introduce to participatory user and audience engagement and to European and global textile and fashion strategies and actions.

The focus of the summer school will be on how crafts, culture, and creativity may leverage industry and citizens for a green, sustainable and cultural transition, and how the summer school participants may bring the understanding of such challenges, put forward through Bæredygtig Herning, into the conceptualizing, development and production of creative recommendations for local partners – be it art and culture institutions, industry and companies, campus collaborations or public spaces and festivals.
