CC ART FESTIVAL

The CC ART FESTIVAL is a transcultural and interdisciplinary project that is planned and implemented annually by business and design students from Belgium, Germany, Finland and Austria as part of an Erasmus+-funded Blended Intensive Programme (BIP). The participating universities alternate annually as hosts.

This year, the international CC ART Festival is entitled "Young Art meets Science" and the UAS BFI Vienna is hosting the event for the first time.

We are more than honoured to be a partner of the Vienna Climate Biennale with our event, which aims to use the vision and power of art to promote a paradigm shift for a future worth living on our planet from 5 April to 14 July 2024.

Our main contribution to the Climate Biennale is the video installation "Can you hear me?", which deals with our consumer society and its consequences. It was created by students under the direction of media artist Felix Dennhardt and in collaboration with the Cuban music ensemble Interactivo de la Habana. The videos were created from "found footage" and reflect the students' consumer behaviour as well as their thoughts and visions on climate change.

Open to the public in the following period:

On Wednesday, 24 April , we cordially invite you to attend the opening evening "Young Art meets Science" from 6:00pm.

Get involved in an inspiring programme full of art, music, science and sustainability:

The student teams will present the video installation "Can you here me?" and their artistic exploration of the topic of climate change together with a live music performance by the Ensemble Interactivo de La Habana and statements by climate experts:

• Univ.-Prof. Dr. Stefan Schleicher (Climate policy expert, Wegener Centre, University of Graz)
• Mag.a Karin Huber-Heim (Endowed Chair of the City of Vienna for Circular Economy, UAS BFI Vienna)
• Felix Dennhardt (Media Artist)

The event will be held in English!

We look forward to seeing you there!
