OPEN CALL TO INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS AND CURATORS LIVING IN EUROPE

To support the production of two artworks and one research

/Roots & Seeds XXI/aims to promote sustainable habits 
through the use of Art & Science approaches and practices. 
The project wants to encourage audiences to take better care

& Seeds XXI/ is an international cooperation project 
developed with the support of the Creative Europe Programme 
of the European Union, between Ars Electronica, 
Leonardo/Olats, University of Barcelona and Quo Artis as 
lead partner.

We understand the botanical world from a non-anthropocentric 
perspective, and we aim to present it as a model for a more 
sustainable future. Among others, our activities include 
workshops, multidisciplinary garden cartographies, an 
Art-Sci Forum and this Open Call for the production of two 
artworks (organized by Quo Artis) and a research residency 
(organized by Leonardo/Olats).
