Art of Change 21 links up art with key environmental issues: global warming, air pollution, waste, pandemics, biodiversity... The association was founded in Paris in 2014 by Alice Audouin, a pioneer of the connection between art and sustainable development, in the run-up to COP21. Art of Change 21 accelerates the role of artists and creativity in the ecological transition and takes actions on an international scale. Art of Change 21 follows several lines of action: Maskbook: the association’s flagship project, both a global collective work of art and action on the link between health and the environment (air pollution, pandemics...). Since launching in ????, it has brought together thousands of contributor-creators around a powerful symbol: the anti-pollution mask. More info: Maskbook.org COP Climate: every year during these summits, Art of Change 21 organises landmark events bringing together art, innovation and environmental issues. Climate Being: a manifesto on the link between humans and the climate, the first action in the form of a silent artistic performance took place at the Art Basel fair in 2019. Caire Game: launched for COP21, this project is a fun online tool designed to promote eco-gestures. Every player can take action at their own level against global warming by making C02 savings. More info: Cairegame.org Big names in contemporary art are contributing to the association's projects and events. Art of Change 21 has already mobilised committed and world-famous artists like John Gerrard, Minerva Cuevas, Wen Fang, Romuald Hazoumé... Art of Change 21 is sponsored by the artist Olafur Eliasson and social entrepreneur Tristan Lecomte. Art of Change 21's main partner is the Schneider Electric Foundation (since 2015) and its institutional partners UN Environment (since 2015) and the French Office for Biodiversity, OFB (since 2019).
