Sostenibilart: Ambassadors of Sustainability. Project for a Dialogue between Art and Environment

This publication is the first result, although partial (but I hope that in the future it can develop, as it would be rele- vant, also through courageous exhibition events), of a much more articulated project. The idea took shape from my research in progress, which connects to my consequent and more recent teaching activity. The project is curated and promoted by the Centre for Studies in Russian Art (CSAR) of Ca’ Foscari University of Venice and by CYLAND MediaArtLab, in collaboration with other qualified institutions, including the Italian Section of the World Food Pro- gramme, the Kolodzei Foundation. It aims to constitute a format of transversal skills and a creative platform to support artistic and historical-critical voices from different parts of the world. The theme is now unfortunately well known to all, as it has also been indicated among the fundamental objectives of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the action programme for people, the planet, and prosperity signed in September 2015 by the gov- ernments of the 193 member countries of the UN.
