Organized by the LADYSS-CNRS, the Centre des Politiques de la Terre, COAL and all the members of the T&T program: ArtMill, Campo Adentro, Locus Athens, the PAV and Zone Sensible, the seminar “Art, food and transformation of European territories” brings together a community of cultural actors committed to ecological transition and sustainable food.

From the field to gastronomy, hybrid initiatives led by artists in the fields of agriculture and food are multiplying around Europe. The Table and the Territory (T&T) is a transdisciplinary European cooperation program that supports this new scene and promotes the importance of Culture-Based Solutions.

Orchestrated and led by Nathalie Blanc, research director at the Laboratory Social Dynamics and Spatial Reconstruction (LADYSS-CNRS), the seminar “Art, food and transformation of European territories” will be the opportunity to discover artistic practices that transform lands strongly affected by the relationship between food and territory in a context of climate change.

Accessible to all, it questions the practices and commitments of artists, curators, scientists, directors of farms, urban and rural, of third places and art centers, in order to better understand the contours of these new transdisciplinary models, and the role of artists in the transformation of imaginaries and territories.
