CALL FOR SUBMISSION

The Resilience Art Exhibition

Deadline for submission of proposals: 2nd November
2007

We invite artists to submit proposals for the
Resilience Art Exhibition
 to
be held at a special venue at Stockholm University in
April 2008. The
exhibition will take place in connection with the
international science
 and
policy conference Resilience, Adaptation and
Transformation in
 Turbulent
Times (www.resilience2008.org).

The Resilience Art Exhibition is a joint project of
the Royal Academy
 of
Fine Arts, through Mejan Labs in Stockholm and the
Royal Swedish
 Academy of
Sciences through the Beijer Institute and the
Stockholm Resilience
 Centre,
in collaboration with the Resilience Alliance.

Resilience for dealing with change
Throughout history human society has shaped the
dynamics of nature and
 at
the same time been shaped by this dynamics. The scale
and speed of
 human
actions have now expanded into globally interconnected
societies
 embedded in
planet Earth processes at all levels, reflected in
climatic and
environmental changes affecting people and regions
worldwide. Social
conditions, health, culture, democracy, matters of
security, and even
survival are interwoven with ecological systems in a
grand panorama of
regional and worldwide dependency. To what extent are
human societies
adapting our capacity for learning and foresight to
deal with the new
 global
and challenging situation? What is the role of the
cultural sphere in
 this
context?

Resilience - the capacity to deal with change and
continue to develop -
 has
evolved as a key concept to address such issues. How
can we develop
 capacity
to cope with, adapt to and possibly even transform
into improved
 situations
in the face of these challenges? Resilience is about
dynamic
 development,
how periods of slow and gradual change interplay with
periods of rapid
 and
sudden change and how to prepare and respond to such
changes. In a
 resilient
society sudden change may lead to new opportunities
for development. In
 a
vulnerable society sudden change may be devastating.
In what way can
 the
cultural sphere help prepare society to deal with such
changes, to
 revive
and regenerate following change and stimulate novelty
and innovation
 for
sustainability? We invite artists to interpret
resilience, to explore
 and
imagine ways for how to take on this major challenge
facing human
 societies.
