With ArtCOP21 Festival on the Banks of the Seine in Paris, COAL offers citizen participation weekends in the great debate of COP21 through artists’ interventions on issues of climate.

Climate change is everyone’s business. In this year 2015, the Parisian atmosphere is particularly sensitive to this issue with the preparation for the COP21 to be held at Le Bourget from 30 November to 11 December.

Without citizen involvement, negotiations that will take place at the end of the year can not succeed. This is why the Festival for Climate, first highlight ofArtCOP21 , was born. Designed as an exchange device, it is animated by artists but told citizens to make Berges de Seine, track history and sustained communication in essence, a space for dialogue, advocacy and mobilization around climate.

At the time of the sharing economy and the reappropriation of public space, come and share the creative energies that exist today in ÃŽle-de-France around the COP21: leave a video message to COP21 negotiators through COPBox ; exchange on What remains with performance artist Thierry Boutonnier and HEROICA Pig Farm of Happiness; immerse yourself in the Amazon rainforest of Rodolphe Alexis and climate landscape Kisseleva ; ask the climate vocabulary with Nathalie Blanc and David Christoffel , co-build a work for the COP21 with Waste arts ; learn about the COP21 with the Parisian Agency for Climate and finally take position with #OccupyHope , monumental collective Ya + K and followed by a Line up with the inspired sound system mobile Never Chill Out Van Bellastock !

Go to the banks on 11 and 12 July from 11h to 22h
