Climate Justice Code

The book and digital publication Climate Justice Code: For artists, art workers, and arts organisations situated in the Global North is available now!
The writing process started off in Casco Art Institute's second Assembly for commoning art institutions, Our House is on Fire, in October 2019 where it was drafted by the editorial committee alongside the steering committee and further developed by all the participants of the Assembly, with the intention that art institutions and artists in the Netherlands and beyond adopt it. In the years following the drafting of the code, the Climate Justice Code Working Group realized the final publication through an evolving group of contributors.

I was part of the working group in 2020 and I am grateful to those who endured  this effort so it could be published and eventually put it into use.

A free digital version of the publication is available HERE
