What is the objective?

The call promoted by BJCEM will focus on the relationship between food and landscape in order to define a series of reflections on how the ways of food production and consumption transform the landscapes of the Euro Mediterranean cities as well as Brazil and how, through radical choices or alternatives to the invasive ones of globalized production, individuals and communities can choose to preserve the territory through solidarity and the promotion of sustainable food systems. The core of the project is the reflection on food production, on human and natural supply chains that this process sets up.

The call is aimed at selecting 15 artists working in the field of visual arts (performance, installation, painting, video, sculpture, etc..) and architecture, who have investigated these issues at the territorial level through relational, community or environmental activism projects

In particular, the call will select 13 artists for the exhibition and 2 for short residencies that will end in a public event featuring actions, installations and temporary happenings in public space. The exhibition will be held in Turin and hosted at BEEOZANAM, a plural space where ideas and communities are produced.

How much is the grant for the project?

The artists selected for the exhibition are going to receive a prize of 250 euro each. The artists selected for the residency are going to receive a prize of 350 euro each.
