Project coordinator “The great heat"
The Association of European Cultural Institutes and Institutions in Saudi Arabia - EUNIC Cluster Saudi Arabia – with coordination of European cultural institutes in Riyadh –(Goethe-Institut/Alliance française) - will be organizing a cultural project this year on the subject of "Climate Change and Culture".
The project:Saudi Arabia is facing environmental challenges such as desertification, biodiversity loss and the depletion of natural resources, all of which pose an ecological threat.
Without judging what is valuable and what seems to be worthless, the magnificent and the seemingly banal carry proof of the legacies of man. In other words, finding and photographically telling the stories that these things communicate about our present time.
Given this dynamic, art can be a prism for understand the evolution. While science provides data and facts, art has the power to touch us emotionally, raise awareness, change mentalities, and offer a new vision of our world. Looking beyond environmental issues, art questions the crises and profound social transformations that underpin ecological challenges, while proposing perspectives for the future
