If a city prioritises having a rich cultural scene is it also more sustainable? Are nature and culture a match made in heaven? This podcast features, Katarzyna Roj, a program manager curator, editor and author at a city-supported gallery in the Polish city of Wrocław, to find the answers. Katarzyna focuses on the dissemination of issues relating to socially responsible design, resiliency, and the use of design tools as a response to the climate crisis. She is also the curator of an educational space and gallery inspired by the tradition of lower Silesian spa palaces.
The podcast discusses, among many things, the game-changing transformation of a local waste treatment farm into an urban nature escape and space for social gatherings. The riverside metropolis of Wroclaw has been an ICLEI Member City since 2017 and was named the European capital of culture in 2016. This episode explores a lesser discuss-piece of the urban sustainability puzzle: culture.
What role do artists have in the sustainability conversation? How can cultural policies contribute to decarbonisation? This podcast is produced by ICLEI Europe.
