An exhibition catalogue, including texts by the artists/scientists/policymakers participating in NaturArchy, as well as invited authors, weaving together and diving into the narratives of NaturArchy.

Following a JRC-wide campaign, the theme for Resonances IV, NaturArchy, was decided upon by the SciArt Team and launched both internally within the JRC and with our external Board of Experts.

We called on JRC researchers, policy makers and staff members interested in working with artists or collaborating with the SciArt project.

We published the Call for Artists for Resonances IV, targeting artists and creative professionals across the globe working at the intersections of art-science-policy on topics such as deep ecology, sustainability, biodiversity, climate change and nature decolonised.

Successful artists were selected and announced.

The SciArt team actively reaches out to discuss the theme with any interested Researchers &  Policymakers, who are always invited to get in touch.

From 20th to 24th June, the JRC was home to a 5-day Summer School where researchers, artists and policy-makers met and discussed on the theme of NaturArchy.

Catch up on the conference recordings.

Summer School participants had until the 31st August 2022 to submit proposals for the production of art-works, resulting from the collaboration of an artist with scientists and/or policymakers.

Proposals were evaluated by the core SciArt Curatorial Committee, then validated by the SciArt Expert Board, to guarantee the quality of the selection and the scientific soundness of the selected proposals. 

Winning proposals were communicated on 18 November 2022.

Selection criteria were communicated in the December 2021 Open Call.

Artists whose proposals are selected are invited to come for a two week residency period on any JRC / EC site, to develop their project with their collaborators.

Find out who our artists in residence for 2023 are.

The SciArt Curatorial Committee will make a formal decision whether to go into production for each proposal. This will be followed by a new expert contract for the authors for the production and showing of the work.
