RESOURCES
We are looking for reflections of the concept of resources within different meanings and levels. Whether these resources are human, environmental, material, energy-based, political, or emotional, spiritual, cultural, financial, digital, or technical, they all have one thing in common as, without them, there is no movement as a necessary life-giving process through which energy enters the system. Everything comes from somewhere and arises from something.
How do humans affect the landscapes and natural resources of our planet by extracting them? What would be the consequences of their scarcity and depletion for life on the planet? How can their scarcity affect humans and other creatures? What are the visions for the future? Scarcity of resources also results in political and social acts, such as wars, migration, movement to get a better life. But life is more complicated than it may seem at first sight. How do information resources and the degree to which they are true affect us?
What are the emotional and spiritual resources of creativity? How to use material resources in creating? What part does recycling and upcycling play in the contemporary art? How to use digital resources in creating contemporary art? Where do resources find their origin; is it indigenous food, a search for indigenous people, or the place where rivers rise?
Reflecting on the topic offers such a wide range of answers where one answer picks up the threads of another and where the degree of correctness is up to every single one of us.
