Art Partner has announced the winners of the Open Call #CreateCOP28 born out the urgency to initiate conversations around climate change and environmental issues that should be addressed at the United Nations Climate Change Conference 2023 (UNFCCC COP 28).
Counting applications from over 130 countries addressing different manifestations of climate change, from river pollution to the extreme variations of weather to rising of sea levels and the increase of human waste, #CreateCOP is a platform where people can share their own experiences and inspire others through them. With a focus on nurturing and elevating individuals from marginalised communities, this Open Call aims to investigate the climate conversation from the perspective of those who can’t participate in it and suffer from underrepresentation.
The winner and runners up of this year’s competition are Gab Mejia, Kasha Sequoia Slavner, Francesco Migliaccio, Julia E Daser, María Legaristi Royo, Lize Briel, Chloe Karnezi, and Corinne Rivera. In order to develop future projects, the 1st is awarded with $10k, the 2nd place with $5k, and the 3rd one with $2k.
