Artistic Experience

Art won’t change the world. But it changes people, and people change the world.

The Artistic Experience

We believe in the power of art and artists to speak to our hearts and imaginations, to paint the unthinkable, to put into music what is speechless. These poets, prophets, researchers, activists unfold the horizon of what is possible.

That’s why, at ChangeNOW, more and more space is given each year to art and culture professionals, and to a variety of practices: visual artists, photographers, dancers, musicians…

Thanks to the cultural and financial partners of the ChangeNOW Communities association, we invite them to exhibit, perform and intervene on stage as ambassadors of a sensitive relationship with human and non-human living beings.

2026 Theme: Landscape is a choice

A landscape is not an immutable backdrop, but a shared cultural heritage, a reflection of human economy.

 

Landscapes are passed down from generation to generation; they are the result of close contact between humans and their biome, evidence of love or contempt, regeneration or destruction. Landscapes are constantly evolving. They are alive.

 

In this edition of ChangeNOW, the artists, designers and collectives who are honouring us with their works, are sharing not only geographical and biological landscapes, but also intimate, utopian and even soundscapes, opening one’s senses to new horizons.

The Art exhibition is sustainable and circular in a number of ways

Eco-Design

The artworks, the exhibition design and the signage use sustainable or recycled materials.

Eco-Production

A cradle-to-cradle (C2C) waste management policy is in place. We also reduce the shipping and transportation footprint throughout the exhibition’s life cycle.

Network

Various institutions help us build this circular exhibition, from material sourcing to post-exhibition management (works are sold, re-exhibited or recycled).

Education

The themes addressed in the exhibition are the subject of an open conversation with all our stakeholders, including suppliers, sponsors, partners and the public, through guided tours, learning expeditions (LEX) and workshops.

Faiths and Wisdom for the Earth

This session offers a space to explore the environmental and social transition through the lens of spirituality and beliefs. Drawing on various traditions, it brings participants together to reflect on shared values and responsibilities, rethink our place on Earth alongside other forms of life, and discover inspiring, concrete paths to work for the common good.
