The Arts Networking Stream
The International Network of Cultura21 is engaged in fostering fruitful
exchanges between the arts and the change process of sustainability.
This platform links art groups, researchers, activists and existing
networks working on topics related to the role of the arts for cultures
of sustainability.(To read more on Cultura21's understanding of
cultures of sustainability, click

The platform aims to facilitate exchanges and a learning process
integrating research, activism and criticism.
The 8 goals of Cultura21 with relationship to the arts are
- To identify, explore and discuss the potentials of the arts
for cultures of sustainability
- To identify the ways in which these potentials can be
effectively put into practice
- To exercise a constant critical awareness of the pitfalls
and issues in the art worlds that are working against cultures of
sustainability
- To carry out evaluations and to look for best practice,
i.e. art projects which are both critically informed and setting up a
relevant praxis
- To disseminate the insights learned
- To design and implement art projects for cultures of
sustainability
- To contribute to an integration of the arts in education
for sustainability
- To foster further praxis and research for cultures of
sustainability in the worlds of the arts
