OPEN CALL FOR ARTISTIC PROJET
7 Arte, as part of the 16th edition of Mitrovica Green Fest, announces an Open Call for Artists for the realization of artistic projects that explore the relationship between humans, nature, and biodiversity.
In a time of climate crisis, habitat loss, and rapid environmental transformations, Green Fest 16 invites artists to pause, observe, and reflect:
What are we losing?
What is still surviving?
What new forms of coexistence can we imagine?
How can art help us see biodiversity not only as a biological concept, but as a network of relationships, memory, and coexistence?
The theme REFLECT! does not only imply reflection, but also response, imagination, and action.
This call welcomes ideas that approach biodiversity through ecological, social, urban, poetic, or experimental perspectives.
We invite applications from:
– Visual artists
– Photographers
– Architects and designers
– Performers
– Musicians and composers

– use recycled or natural materials
