Climate Art - From Protest to Utopia

Original title: L'art face à l'urgence climatique

CLIMATE ART explores how contemporary art engages with the climate crisis. Journalist Leonie Sontheimer visits influential artists like Olafur Eliasson, Sebastião Salgado, and Agnes Denes, whose works inspire new perspectives—from Europe to the Global South. The film also questions the sustainability of the global art world, challenging its reliance on travel, transport, and large events. It reveals how artists are turning climate anxiety into creative resistance and activism. Included is one of the final interviews with Brazilian photographer Sebastião Salgado, who passed away on May 23, 2025.
