The EcoArtLab is a transdisciplinary think-and-do-tank
at the Bern Academy of the Arts (HKB / BFH) that initiates collaborations between designers, artistic researchers, scientists and the public in the field of climate crisis and ecological sustainability. We are dedicated to questions ofenvironmental and social justice as well as transdisciplinary approaches to knowledge co-production that integrate different perspectives.
We are convinced that to tackle complex problems, such as the climate crisis, it is necessary to develop new institutional frameworks, methods and practices, and mediation formats, involving artists, scientists, activists and the public. Our aim is to create spaces for transformation and bridge the gap between knowledge and action.
Therefore, we conceptualise and organise various interventions such as residencies, teachings, and workshops, as well as conduct a SNSF-founded research project (2023-2027).
