"Art is now a permanent fixture at UN climate conferences. In Paris, ArtCOP21
saw some 400 events that took place in 46 countries. This year, the artists’
presence is gathered in the Climate Fringe, its title referencing the Edinburgh
Fringe Festival.
Climate Fringe, its organisers claim, is “run by civil society for civil
society”, and the in-person events are joined by an online hub with
community-generated content including lectures, exhibitions, public artworks,
film screenings and poetry readings.
But what can art accomplish at a high-stakes political meeting? Everything and
nothing, depending on whom you ask."
