Call for Artists: Purpose x AdaptNSW Forum

We are in a critical moment, needing to mobilise every person, effort, and resource to stay within a shrinking carbon budget and aim to limit global warming to 1.5°C—a somewhat safe threshold for life as we know it on earth.

We also need to adapt to our rapidly changing climate and the new reality it brings.

This is where you come in. We're calling on artists, performers, and creatives to submit expressions of interest for the upcoming Purpose Stream of the AdaptNSW Forum.

We’re seeking creative, interactive, and performative works that can inspire, provoke thought, and engage people in this essential conversation.

Whether through art installations, performances, digital works, or other forms of creative expression, we want your ideas to be part of this transformative event.
