Background for the project

A rapid transition from the infrastructure and cultural practices reliant on fossil energy sources to post-fossil solutions is essential to slow down climate change. A 3-year (2018-2020) collaborative project of Mustarinda and HIAP consists of three parts: 1. adjusting the activities of the organizations to post-fossil transition, 2. thematic residencies and events and 3. sharing the practices. The project focuses on the themes of Transport, Energy and Food, which play a major role in the transition. The project aims to build up, develop and adopt new technologies, to minimize greenhouse gas emissions caused by the artist residencies and to explore the challenges related to renewable energy sources in cultural organizations´ activities. The project challenges Finnish and international art institutions to prepare for the post-fossil future.
