Landscape Together

a project of cooperation between European partners - financed by Creative Europe
 
Landscape Together (LT) aims to give innovative answers to the urgent question, how can Art and Culture lead to sustainable solutions against depopulation and climate change issues? 
 
Through Creative Thinking and Laboratorial Actions developed in cooperation with strategic partners from Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, and Spain this project implements a community method through art and landscape that aims to create a pioneer case study of the European Green Deal challenges and disseminate the New European Bauhaus movement. 
LT boost cooperation and mobility between more than 90 artists and theirs works within an engaged relation with communities and transform this experience in a replicable model. The LT Model is a tool to improve the quality of life in depopulated regions struggling to regain a sense of belonging and meaning to one’s place, landscape, and heritage, increasingly attained by consequences of climate change. 
 
LT is an evidence-based method with 16 interdisciplinary events, more than 70 workshops, 8 cultural tours, 18 artistic residencies, 2 permanent artworks, 4 training camps, 20 Talks, 8 exhibitions in 6 countries, and 1 Toolkit. In-between experimentation and reflection partners will craft together with citizens and communities’ new solutions for better living places, results about sustainable environment and construction, and contemporary creations that integrate material and immaterial heritage. 
This strategy of transformation is anchored in a wide network of participants, capacitating more than 500 students, and reaching more than 8.000 visitors at the final exhibitions. 
 
What are the questions raised by at-risk communities with artists and creatives that lead to sustainable solutions? At the end of the project, LT Model will lead sustainable strategies, a tested methodology and a panoply of innovative solutions to inspire and capacitate other stakeholders to help at-risk communities around the world through art and culture.
