Artistieke residenties: co-creatie op locatie

How do artist residencies enable situated knowledge and practices for climate justice, through collaborations between local (human and multispecies) communities and scientists?

Through its network of cooperation-partners that offer spaces for residencies and offer field work opportunities, JUST ART is able to place artistic research projects in urban and rural localities where the impact of the climate crisis is acutely felt, thus situating art squarely in society. But even if artistic research takes place in such locations, how can we ensure that stakeholders who may not have declared affinities with the arts, deny climate change, or are non-human communities or entities and as such do not easily come into view, are nonetheless reached and included in co-creation? As researcher I will study the various ways in which artistic PhDs and resident artists connect, co-design, and co-create with human and non-human stakeholders and communities. Through observations, interviews, and the conceptualization of the artist residency as specific cultural format, I collect and analyze different modes of working and identifies patterns of in- and ex-clusion as well as good practices, testing these for adaptability and scalability in other

contexts.
