Project Highlights
(re)connecting.earth
(re)connecting.earth, the Biennale of Art and Urban Nature, starts from artistic creation to offer other perspectives on nature by appealing to the senses, emotions, and the critical thinking of the audience. Based in Geneva every other year, each edition focuses on a specific theme related to the environment. The Biennale becomes nomadic in other years and is exported to another city to extend the reflection around this theme. An educational program based on works-instructions and other artistic achievements continues beyond the Biennales and is offered throughout the year in Geneva schools. It is developed by the educational team of art-werk and is renewed according to the editions and themes addressed.
