In continuation of Wooloo's NEW LIFE COPENHAGEN festival - in which we secured housing for more than 3.000 activists during the United Nations (UN) climate change summit in Denmark - NEW LIFE CANCUN is now aiming to connect visiting activists and NGO employees with local families in the area of Cancún.
This November, the UN will meet again for climate negotiations in the tourist town of Cancún, Mexico. An area infamous for its vulnerability to climate disasters (mainly hurricanes), as well as for the high-CO2 emissions associated with its tourism sector.
It is also the same spot where the WTO gathered back in 2003. This location presents several challenges, but we look forward to facing them with you.
From April 21st to August 1st 2010, artists working with interventions, activism and other participatory practices are nvited to apply for participation in NEW LIFE CANCÚN.
Utilizing the meeting of thousands of hosts and guests in Cancun as our exhibition platform, artists and activists are invited to explore its social architecture and suggest work proposals of an awareness, educational and/or practical-action nature designed around the topic: “NEW WAYS OF LIVING TOGETHER”.
The deadline for work proposals is AUGUST 1st, 2010.
