PROJECTING CHANGE is a cultural-audiovisual management project developed within the framework of research around the concept of ecological humanities (https://ecohumanidades.webs.upv.es/), in which we reflect on the challenges posed by the multifactorial ecosocial crisis, focusing on the role of art and, specifically, of the audiovisual medium, in the necessary change of worldview required to face it.
The conviction that drives this initiative is the need to bring ecosocial problems into contact with the public., but fleeing from the standards of the hegemonic discourse that instrumentalizes “green” to sell us sustainability associated with more business opportunities.
Thus, The works that are part of this project have very varied formats and narratives: small documentary videos, activist, performative, audiovisual essays, visual poems, animated shorts, experimental video pieces, etc. They aim to show what is often intentionally hidden., minimized or manipulated, from a creative freedom outside the standards of the cultural industries. These works indicate that another way of seeing and living is possible., and bringing to light those issues that we want to be at the forefront of our reflections and demands.
The inauguration of the 3rd ed. will have 2 activities: a central one at the IVAM and a parallel one at the UPV:
