Climate Exchange Platform

The Climate Exchange Platform is a network of participating art academies and post-academic institutes including the Planetary Poetics master's programme at the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam, the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht, the Art and Ecology master's programme at Goldsmiths University in London and the Center for Creative Ecologies at the University of California in Santa Cruz.

Through the Climate Exchange Platform we want to share experiences, perspectives, and working methods between art schools with programs focused on aesthetics and ecology--particularly those that directly focus their artistic practices on the unfolding ecological catastrophe--and the public at large. The development of the platform is organised by students and alumni from the various participating art schools under the guidance of artist Dorine van Meel. This first series of online panel discussions and workshops is organized by members of the platform. The Climate Exchange Platform is initiated by Planetary Poetics at the Sandberg Instituut (Amsterdam) and supported by VIS, Virtuele Internationale Samenwerking.
