About

Resistance for Artists is a research project based on the principles of the Degrowth movement, applied to the logic of contemporary art. Through research and community-building efforts, we intend to provide tools and strategies which help the modern art context catch up with the urgent and critical moment that humanity is facing, associated with the climate crisis. Shifting from a growth-oriented environment to post-growth practices entails reducing consumption habits and rebuilding core values.

Contemporary art provides a context that allows for experimentation and can play a role in facilitating this, helping to create a vision for a post-capitalist society. By developing a toolbox, we aim to enable artists, curators, galleries and institutions to build a conscious, collective and intentional commitment to significantly reducing production and consumption.
