Nature of Us

2026-07-22

Nature of Us aims to bridge the gap between the arts and science sectors, highlighting the synergy between scientific content and artistic expression. In the cooperation of four Central European partners, NoU is dedicated to innovating artistic practices, in response to significant environmental crises. The project's activities are organized around three central themes. Under InI - Intersections' Insights, the focus is on learning each other's context, fostering mutual understanding between artists and scientists. Activities include a mobility program where artists attend scientific events and scientists join artistic festivals; a conference offering collaborative workshops and discussions for experts of both fields; and a pilot project integrating artists into ongoing scientific research projects. CreCo - Creative Convergences emphasizes knowledge sharing and development. It includes residencies where scientist-artist pairs research environmental issues; a Symposium featuring diverse formats to share practices; the development of educational tools aimed at teaching environmental issues to youth; and the formation of an Art-Sci committee of art and science experts to evaluate and curate project activities. In EcoStage the focus is on awareness raising and presentation. This involves showcasing innovative educational tools in schools and local communities, presenting climate-themed performances at the Bazaar Festival, and supporting cross-sectoral performances created by environmental experts and artists. The project targets a wide range of groups, with a particular focus on the artistic and scientific community. In order to involve wider audiences, outreach activities include 2 Multiplier Events, serving as platforms to share project results with stakeholders. 4 Nature of Us Clubs will be organized, taking the form of events, podcasts, and publications, to engage local communities and wider audiences in the project topics, and to share project outcomes with them.
