This autumn, Creative Europe confirmed support for Transitioning LANDscapes, a new 24-month collaboration with a grant of €200,000. For LAND, it opens a new chapter after our earlier Erasmus+ work and sets up a run of field-based activity across our partner regions.
Why this matters: the project will unfold through three “landscape laboratories” — one in each territory — inviting artists to work with local knowledge, environmental research and community partners. The focus is simple and urgent: how art can help us understand (and live with) the changes in the places we call home.
The partners are Oerol (NL, lead), Le Citron Jaune (FR) and SYTEV (SK). Each will host activity in their own landscapes — from an island on the Wadden Sea to the Camargue delta and the Rajec valley — while sharing learning across the network. Alongside new artistic work, the project will publish an open “matchmaking” guide and an ecological guide so others can apply the approach in their own contexts.
In its assessment, the European Commission highlighted the project’s strong collaboration and the potential impact of its public programme and sector-facing resources — a welcome vote of confidence as we get underway.
We’ll share first dates and stories from the field as the programme takes shape across our three territories.
