With the ACT Agenda events, we purposefully connect our artistic creations and experiments to the agenda of political and social decision-making events on climate and biodiversity, on two major occasions. In our shared agenda, we join forces and seek to inspire and influence a major, international event on climate. The first will be in 2021, connected to the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Marseille. This event is programmed by our partner COAL (France).
Williamson’s Sapsucker Mural © Mike Fernandez AudubonInitiated in Harlem, USA, the Audubon Mural Project is an art project in public space consisting in painting, on the city walls, frescoes depicting birds threatened by climate change. It is inspired by illustrations of the birds of North America produced by the Franco-American naturalist painter Jean-Jacques Audubon in the 19th century. Born of a collaboration between the National Audubon Society and the Gitler & _____ Gallery, the project quickly caught the attention of the public and the press and spread throughout New York and many other American cities.
Continuing the movement that emerged in the United States, COAL is carrying the Audubon Mural Project in France: Les Murs d’Audubon, on the occasion of the Congress World of Nature IUCN 2021 in Marseille in partnership with the Audubon Society.
