Art for Radical Ecologies

ART FOR RADICAL ECOLOGIES MANIFESTO

1/ Art is part of the world. Art for Radical Ecologies is part of the struggles to change it.

2/ Art is a promise of other worlds, but it is in the actual world that promises must be kept participating in the struggles for its transformation.

3/ New materialism and historical materialism together act against exploitation and domination. Speculation opens up to potential becoming counter-hegemonic social practice, otherwise it is neutralization and capture.

4/ In our current environmental breakdown, the necessary condition for autonomy of art is its autonomy from the neoliberal-extractivist apparatus. Art workers and art institutions must reflect about their positionality and act accordingly.

5/ Art for Radical Ecologies is abolitionist, against police repression, fascism, racism, colonialism and genocide. It is grounded in the voices of the oppressed and is our breath of liberation.

6/ The revolutionary subject is not only human. Transversal and interspecies alliances can powerfully act against ventriloquisms, dualisms, and othering hierarchies. 

7/ Art for Radical Ecologies makes visible the human and other-than-human vulnerabilities and precariuosness and takes care of them.

8/ Dismantling the foundations of colonial privilege in this era of environmental and democratic collapse is paramount. Art for Radical Ecologies opens up space against the contention and detention of migrating humans and  other-than-humans. 

9/ Struggles are interconnected, because so are oppressions. Ideological and material extractivism abusing lives as resources, means or products must end now. In shared life, liberation is total. 

10/ End Fossil is the priority. Any complicity with biocapitalism, extractive industry and financial greenwashing in and outside art institutions must end.

11/ Art for Radical Ecologies is either anti-capitalist or it is not. Capitalism is the driver of environmental breakdown. There is no such thing as sustainable capitalism. Technosolutionism and transition reformism are bullshit.

12/ Art for Radical Ecologies stands with technologies that free human and other-than human life and do not perpetuate the exploitation of productive and reproductive labor.

13/ Art for Radical Ecologies is generative yet anti-productivist. It embraces degrowth and multiplies questions, terminologies, connections and scenarios.

14/ Art institutions funded by toxic philanthropy must be abolished. Anti-museums and alter-institutions are the forms that we adopt for common instituent imagination.

15/ As art workers we inhabit spaces of race, class, gender privilege as well as subordination. We  stand with those whose freedoms are menaced. We reclaim freedom of speech and stand against censorship.

16/ Dystopia is privilege. Enough with the apocalyptic talk, it’s not the end of the world, but of global capitalism and its toxic imaginaries. Art repairs temporalities and liberates futurity, opening horizons beyond capitalist realism and catastrophism.

ART FOR RADICAL ECOLOGIES MANIFESTO

Participants a.o.

Institute of Radical Imagination (Marco Baravalle, Emanuele Braga, Sara Buraya, Maddalena Fragnito, Gabriella Riccio, Federica Timeto), The Yes Men (Mike Bonanno) and Barbie Liberation Organization, Andreco Climate Art Project, Ashley Dawson, Terike Haapoja, Andrea Natella, Noura Tafeche, Serpica Naro, Dirty Art Department (Jerszy Seymour, Theo Dietz e Rosa Meulenbeld), Effimera (Giorgio Griziotti), Tiziana Terranova, and the contribution in remote by Arts for the Commons A4C (Rosa Jijón and Francesco Martone) and Laboratory of Insurrectionary Imagination (Isabelle Fremeaux & Jay Jordan)

The Milano World Congress for Climate Justice is the opportunity to bring together art and performing arts workers to continue a discussion that will lead to the collective writing of a manifesto on the role of art in the struggle for climate justice and in the creation of new ecologies (which take into account the intersection of environmental and social facts). If the pandemic had already dramatically underlined the consequences of extractivist anthropization, the war in Ukraine (in addition to its immediate death toll) is a manifestation of what Andreas Malm has called ‘fossil fascism’, a mix of authoritarianism and fossil fuels that weakens the already insufficient measures to combat global warming. The scarcity of Russian gas has brought coal back into vogue and, in Italy, the construction of new re-gasifiers is on the agenda. The decision to organize the workshop at the World Congress for Climate Justice 2023 reflects our belief in the importance of freeing art from the capture of institutional circuits. We want to experience, as participants in social movements, aesthetic-political concatenations that interpret creativity as a radical character of the social and not as a commodity. The participants also share the conviction that the fight for climate justice is, necessarily, a fight against and beyond extractive capitalism, even in its green version (actually an attempt to turn the crisis into new accumulation). The workshop will involve discussion and co-creation starting from the practices of the invited guests around certain central themes: the use of art as a method of inquiry and visualization in the climate crisis; the production of activist art forms that look at the performativity of direct action; art as a ground for radical imagination in designing new ecologies that reshape the relationship between human and non-human; art as an archive of movement practices, and so on.

Il World Congress for Climate Justice di Milano è l’occasione per riunire i lavoratori dell’arte e dello spettacolo per continuare una discussione che porterà alla stesura collettiva di un manifesto sul ruolo dell’arte nella lotta per la giustizia climatica e nella creazione di nuove ecologie (che tengono conto dell’intersezione tra fatti ambientali e sociali). Se la pandemia aveva già sottolineato drammaticamente le conseguenze dell’antropizzazione estrattivista, la guerra in Ucraina (oltre al suo immediato bilancio di vittime) è una manifestazione di quello che Andreas Malm ha chiamato “fascismo fossile”, un mix di autoritarismo e combustibili fossili che indebolisce il sistema misure già insufficienti per combattere il riscaldamento globale. La scarsità del gas russo ha riportato in auge il carbone e, in Italia, è all’ordine del giorno la costruzione di nuovi rigassificatori. La decisione di organizzare il workshop al Congresso Mondiale per la Giustizia Climatica 2023 riflette la nostra convinzione nell’importanza di liberare l’arte dalla cattura dei circuiti istituzionali. Vogliamo sperimentare, come partecipanti ai movimenti sociali, concatenazioni estetico-politiche che interpretino la creatività come carattere radicale del sociale e non come merce. I partecipanti condividono anche la convinzione che la lotta per la giustizia climatica sia, necessariamente, una lotta contro e oltre il capitalismo estrattivo, anche nella sua versione verde (in realtà un tentativo di trasformare la crisi in nuova accumulazione). Il workshop prevederà discussioni e co-creazione a partire dalle pratiche degli ospiti invitati attorno ad alcuni temi centrali: l’uso dell’arte come metodo di indagine e visualizzazione nella crisi climatica; la produzione di forme d’arte attiviste che guardano alla performatività dell’azione diretta; l’arte come terreno per l’immaginazione radicale nella progettazione di nuove ecologie che rimodellano la relazione tra umano e non umano; l’arte come archivio di pratiche di movimento, e così via.

MIKE BONANNO (THE YES MEN) | Talk

“After 10,000 years of a stable climate, the earth has entered a period of great instability,” says Vamos. “Because of this, students today will likely face environmental and social problems at a scale and complexity that civilization has yet to witness. It is for this reason that my focus as an educator and a communicator has been to help prepare them to proactively work towards solving these emergent problems, both through applied multi-disciplinary projects that treat the symptoms, and by civic engagement intended to address the root causes.”

About IGOR VAMOS

Igor Vamos is a member of The Yes Men using the alias Michael “Mike” Bonanno, and an associate professor of media arts at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institut. Vamos is also well-known for his collaborative public art projects such as the Barbie Liberation Organization and the Center For Land Use Interpretation, a non-profit organization dedicated to the increase and dissemination of knowledge about the nature of human interaction with the Earth.

THE YES MEN

“Invite us to corrupt your students!”. The Yes Men is performance-activist duo that impersonates captains of industry and surprise unsuspecting business audiences with satirical, poignant actions that comment upon pressing social and environmental issues.

BARBIE LIBERATION ORGANISATION

“We are the Barbie Liberation Organization (B.L.O.), an underground network of creative activists. We challenge malign societal norms and spark conversations that resonate beyond the ordinary. Creativity is our weapon of choice. Through acts of cultural insurgency, we aim to liberate minds and provoke thought. Our covert operations are carefully crafted to disrupt the status quo and inspire others to question the constructs that confine them.”

CENTER FOR LAND USE INTERPRETATION

Dedicated to the increase and diffusion of knowledge about how the nation’s lands are apportioned, utilized, and perceived. The CLUI exists to stimulate discussion, thought, and general interest in the contemporary landscape. Neither an environmental group nor an industry affiliated organization, the work of the Center integrates the many approaches to land use—the many perspectives of the landscape—into a single vision that illustrates the common ground in “land use” debates. At the very least, the Center attempts to emphasize the multiplicity of points of view regarding the utilization of terrestrial and geographic resources.

MIKE BONANNO (THE YES MEN) | Talk

“Dopo 10.000 anni di clima stabile, la terra è entrata in un periodo di grande instabilità”, afferma Vamos. È per questo motivo che il mio obiettivo come educatore e comunicatore è stato quello di aiutarli a prepararsi a lavorare in modo proattivo per risolvere questi problemi emergenti, sia attraverso progetti multidisciplinari applicati che trattano i sintomi, sia attraverso l’impegno civico inteso ad affrontare le cause profonde.”

About IGOR VAMOS

Igor Vamos è membro di The Yes Men utilizzando lo pseudonimo di Michael “Mike” Bonanno e professore associato di arti multimediali al Rensselaer Polytechnic Institut. Vamos è anche noto per i suoi progetti collaborativi di arte pubblica come la Barbie Liberation Organization e il Center For Land Use Interpretation, un’organizzazione no-profit dedicata all’aumento e alla diffusione della conoscenza sulla natura dell’interazione umana con la Terra.

THE YES MEN

“Invitateci a corrompere i vostri studenti!”. The Yes Men è un duo di attivisti e performance che impersona capitani d’industria e sorprende il pubblico ignaro degli affari con azioni satiriche e toccanti che commentano urgenti questioni sociali e ambientali.

BARBIE LIBERATION ORGANISATION

“Siamo la Barbie Liberation Organization (B.L.O.), una rete sotterranea di attivisti creativi. Sfidiamo le norme sociali maligne e scateniamo conversazioni che risuonano oltre l’ordinario. La creatività è la nostra arma preferita. Attraverso atti di insurrezione culturale, miriamo a liberare le menti e provocare riflessioni. Le nostre operazioni segrete sono attentamente progettate per sconvolgere lo status quo e ispirare gli altri a mettere in discussione i costrutti che li confinano.”

CENTER FOR LAND USE INTERPRETATION

Dedicato all’aumento e alla diffusione della conoscenza su come le terre della nazione vengono ripartite, utilizzate e percepite. Il CLUI esiste per stimolare la discussione, il pensiero e l’interesse generale nel panorama contemporaneo. Né un gruppo ambientalista né un’organizzazione affiliata all’industria, il lavoro del Centro integra i numerosi approcci all’uso del territorio – le molteplici prospettive del paesaggio – in un’unica visione che illustra il terreno comune nei dibattiti sull’”uso del territorio”. Per lo meno, il Centro tenta di sottolineare la molteplicità dei punti di vista riguardo all’utilizzo delle risorse terrestri e geografiche.

THE CLIMATE JUSTICE LEGUE Workshop

curated by Emanuele Braga

with the complicit participation of Andreco,  Andrea Natella, Noura Tafeche, Serpica Naro and Dirty Art Department (Jerszy Seymour, Theo Dietz e Rosa Meulenbeld), Institute of Radical Imagination (Marco Baravalle, Emanuele Braga, Maddalena Fragnito, Gabriella Riccio, Federica Timeto)

The CLIMATE JUSTICE LEAGUE saw its genesis at LE ALLEANZE DEI CORPI Festival, Milan KINLab September 2023

A generative co-creation of eco-warriors icons front for climate justice. The Climate Justice League will be present in the form of big cardboard puppets, ready to enter the street and march around the planet.

Subvertising and radical imagination: we need super heroes for climate justice! In the history of art and activism we have always practiced the situationist art of inventing fictional characters alongside real everyday struggles and which embodied the spirit of the time. Luther Blisset, San Precario, Serpica Naro, Gaetano, to name a few famous ones close to us, born in Milan and Italy. In this era of great upheavals, of floods, tornadoes and heat waves, in this Milan where the parks are closed due to cyclones, the entire Po Valley has been flooded and in the Alps there are no longer glaciers and water reserves… who can come to our rescue? What are the faces of the new CLIMATE JUSTICE LEAGUE? And above all, who are the evil forces behind all this?
After the great success of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, Yesman and Pussyriot have just released the new face of Barbie Eco Worrior which you can find on  https://www.barbieliberation.org/. These and other super personalities will participate in the WORLD CONGRESS FOR CLIMATE JUSTICE hich will be held in Milan next 12-15 October. On this occasion Institute of Radical Imagination will also launch the anti-speciesist, fossil free and post-anthropocentric ART FOR RADICAL ECOLOGIES MANIFESTO.

La genesi della CLIMATE JUSTICE LEAGUE è stata presentata a LE ALLEANZE DEI CORPI Festival, Milano KINLab September 2023

Una co-creazione generativa di icone di eco-guerrieri in prima linea per la giustizia climatica. La Climate Justice League sarà presente sotto forma di grandi pupazzi di cartone, pronti a scendere in strada e marciare intorno al pianeta.

Subvertising e immaginazione radicale, ovvero: abbiamo bisogno di  super eroə per la giustizia climatica! Nella storia dell’arte e attivismo  abbiamo praticato da semprei l’arte situazionista dell’invenzione di personaggi fiction al fianco delle lotte reali di tutti i giorni e che incarnassero lo spirito del tempo. Luther Blisset, San Precario, Serpica Naro, Gaetano, per citarne alcuni famosi e a noi vicini, nati a Milano e in Italia. In questa epoca di grandi stravolgimenti, di alluvioni, tornadi e ondate di calore, in questa Milano in cui i parchi sono chiusi per ciclone, tutta la pianura padana è stata alluvionata e sulle alpi non ci sono più ghiacciai e riserve idriche… chi può venire in nostro soccorso? Quali sono i volti della nuova CLIMATE JUSTICE LEAGUE? E soprattutto chi sono le forze del male che stanno dietro a tutto questo?
Dopo il grande successo di Barbie di Greta Gerwig, Yesman e Pussyriot hanno appena liberato il nuovo volto di Barbie Eco Worrior che potete trovare sul sito https://www.barbieliberation.org/.  Questə e altrə super personaggə parteciperanno al congresso mondiale per il clima WORLD CONGRESS FOR CLIMATE JUSTICE che si terrà a Milano il prossimo 12-15 Ottobre.

Un workshop intensivo per creare un Super-Simbionte, un corpo collettivo in movimento. Sperimenteremo pratiche performative nello spazio pubblico creando sovrapposizioni tra visioni artistiche, scientifiche, politiche ed ecologiche, per arrivare a creare icone trans-disciplinari e alimentare nuovi immaginari per la giustizia ecologica, climatica e sociale. 
L’obbiettivo del workshop è comporre una coreografia per la Climate March del 10 settembre, uno spezzone mutante, visionario ed indefinibile, a cui tutti e tutte possono partecipare.
Se il capitalismo verde si appropria di linguaggi ecologisti, masticandoli e svuotandoli di senso, siamo sempre pronti a mutare a trovare altre definizioni e linguaggi per essere inafferrabili e per mantenere la radicalità dei contenuti e delle istanze.

An intensive workshop to create a Super-Symbiont, a collective body on the move. We will experiment performing practices in the public space; overlapping artistic, scientific, political and ecological visions we will create trans-disciplinary icons to feed new imaginaries for climate and social justice.
The goal of the workshop is to compose a choreography for the Climate parade, a mutant and dreamy, elusive and indefinable block, in which everyone can participate.
If Green Capitalism appropriates ecological definitions, chewing them and emptying them of meaning, we will constantly mutate, finding new language and practices to maintain the radicality of the contents and instances.
The Super-Symbiont is a mutant and iridescent organism able to cure as marigolds on sunburn or ferns on metal-polluted soils. The symbionte is a new Best Practice, a Climate Action to create new radical imaginaries.

Looking at the data about greenhouse emissions by individual countries and their Carbon Majors, Paolo Cirio will propose conceptual and provocative art interventions to address the Venice Climate Debt paid directly by tourists. 
Starting from the introduction of ticketing and entry fees for tourists visiting Venice, the concept can be push forward with creating a new reality in which the entry fee can be proportional to the amount of greenhouse gases emissions of the tourist’s country origin.
During the workshop Paolo Cirio will discuss emissions data, attribution science, carbon tax and credits, global climate agreements, and how these can be material for works of investigative and interventionist art. Furthermore, the workshop will be a chance to debate on policies on tourist tax, the controversial entrance of a city with tickets, and generally overturism globally.
The workshop will culminate with a small intervention with proposing the entrance fee directly to the tourists in Venice.

In 2021, Paolo Cirio established an utopian international Climate Tribunal to accuse the major 100 fossil fuel firms with data, graphs, and documents that he transformed in artworks.
Through creative forms of journalism and activism for public policies, Paolo Cirio investigates and intervenes into the social, economic, and cultural issues of contemporary society. His work researches the social fields impacted by technology, geopolitics, and economics in order to address human rights, inequality, justice, and democracy.

Osservando i dati sulle emissioni di gas serra dei singoli paesi e delle loro Carbon Majors, Paolo Cirio proporrà un intervento artistico, concettuale e provocatorio, in cui saranno i turisti a pagare il debito climatico. 
Partendo dalla notizia dell’introduzione del biglietto d’accesso per i turisti che visitano Venezia, il workshop crea una nuova realtà in cui la tariffa d’ingresso è proporzionale alla quantità di emissioni di gas serra del paese di provenienza del turista.
Durante il workshop, Paolo Cirio parlerà dei dati sulle emissioni, della scienza dell’attribuzione, della carbon tax e dei crediti, degli accordi globali sul clima e di come questi possono diventare materiale per opere d’arte investigativa e interventista. Inoltre, il workshop sarà un’occasione per discutere delle politiche sulla tassa di soggiorno, del controverso tema del biglietto di ingesso e, in generale, dell’overturism a livello globale.
Il workshop culminerà con un piccolo intervento che proporrà la tassa d’ingresso direttamente ai turisti di Venezia.

Nel 2021, Paolo Cirio ha istituito un utopico Tribunale internazionale del clima per accusare le 100 principali aziende produttrici di combustibili fossili con dati, grafici e documenti che si trasformano in opere d’arte.
Attraverso forme creative di giornalismo e attivismo, Paolo Cirio indaga e interviene sulle questioni sociali, economiche e culturali della società contemporanea. Il suo lavoro indaga i campi sociali impattati dalla tecnologia, dalla geopolitica e dall’economia per affrontare i temi dei diritti umani, della disuguaglianza, della giustizia e della democrazia.
