About:
Launched in 2015 by Professor Lucy Orta, the Art for the Environment International Artist Residency Programme AER has been providing UAL graduates with the exceptional opportunity to take part in fully funded residencies in partnership with our internationally renowned host institutions, to live a unique experience while exploring concerns that define the 21st century: biodiversity, environmental sustainability, social economy, and human rights.
While the residencies are currently on pause due to the Covid-19 restrictions, Art for the Environment – Conversations aims to offer a platform in which ideas and experiences are exchanged. Within the current climate emergency, AER partners, residents and UAL alumni come together to reflect on the impact and legacy of their practices and to reflect on their creative role in envisioning a world of tomorrow.
