The multiple transitions we are all facing requires us to challenge business-as-usual, across actors, sectors, and disciplines. The IA LAB project is the beginning of a resource site to share information and resources with colleagues in the artistic and cultural fields.

The project's aim is to offer artists and creatives a low-threshold access to information, skills, networks, and actors who are engaged in the societal challenges that are arising in various aspects due to the climate and biological diversity crisis and the implementation of the green shift. IA LAB aims to link large scale political programs and initiatives to a local context through a series of workshops and by sharing the information, questions, and reflections that arises from these gatherings.

Impact Attribution LAB provides a resource site for artists and creatives collecting information on various international, national and local initiatives and policy frameworks for the green shift. The focus will be on the ethical and aesthetic aspects of the green shift, where the possibilities for artistic contributions to just transitions, i.e. a fair green shift, will be discussed with researchers and advisers.

The societal transformation to come requires everyone to question the business-as-usual, within each discipline, sector, or mode of work. For the fields of the visual arts, we would like to explore a way to share a base of knowledge and resources with our peers that can be a support for any further art project across the sector that engages in societal challenges, to prevent individual artists having to re-invent the wheel or ending up all alone with a signature style.
