AUDUBON’S MURALS IN EUROPE

The Art Climate Transition European cooperation network, of which COAL is a member, has launched a campaign to roll out the Audubon Murals across Europe: “Your birds, Our birds”. By spreading the Audubon Murals across Europe, the network is raising awareness of the disappearance of many European bird species as a result of the sixth mass extinction.

In September 2021, Art Climate Transition, COAL and Planète Émergences inaugurated a mural in Marseille to mark the IUCN World Conservation Congress 2021. This mural inaugurated the Murs d’Audubon movement in France.

To build on this achievement, ACT has launched a campaign to roll out the Murs d’Audubon across Europe: “Your birds, Our birds“. By spreading the Audubon Murals across Europe, the network is raising awareness of the disappearance of many European bird species as a result of the sixth mass extinction.

A CALL TO ACTION

Supported by ACT members, the “Your Birds, Our Birds” campaign invites and enables a local community to create a fresco, either via a call for projects or an artistic commission.

THE ACT NETWORK

ACT is a European cooperation project focusing on ecology, climate change and social transition. In an age of climate change, mass extinctions and growing inequality, ACT is rallying its forces around a project full of hope. By combining global perspectives with local opportunities, ACT invites us to act.

At the heart of this Europe-wide project are 10 cultural organisations from 10 European countries working in the fields of performance art and the visual arts. ACT is a project supported by the European Union’s Creative Europe programme until 2024.
