For the exhibition "Art for a Climate-Social City" (April 2025 in Linz), the project team "Klimasoziales Linz" is looking for artistic contributions that address the pressing questions of the climate crisis and social justice, and make climate-social issues and futures visible and tangible in everyday urban life. The exhibition aims to foster a dialogue about the possibilities of climate-social coexistence, and to strengthen activist positions and awareness of the links between the climate crisis and social crises.

The submitted works will be selected by a specialist jury and should have a clear connection to the exhibition. Projects with a Linz connection are particularly welcome. Works in various media are accepted, including painting, sculpture, photography, installation, video, performance, experimental literature, digital art, etc. Each artist or collective may submit up to three works. Submissions are possible until 6 January 2025 at the email address lisa.lorenz@klimasozial.at. A flat-rate artist's fee of €500 will be awarded per selected exhibition position.

Further information about the submission process and the planned exhibition can be found here and online.
