“WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL DAY” CURATION
IKONO ON AIR FESTIVAL / 17 JUNE 2011
Selected artists: Ange Leccia, Danae Stratou, Burt Bar, Alexander Schellow & William Kentridge
Ikono|Menasa and MELD joined forces to render an homage to the planet and will present a 24 hour series on June 17, 2011 of art films/videos dedicated to issues embedded in the environment. These films acted as a catalyst for social change by provoking civic engagement, thus creating a feeling of belonging, a sense of responsibility and an experience of investment and ownership in the local, regional, national, and international communities to which citizens belong. Additionally, our goal was to generate a physical and experiential space where people learn to co‐exist, connect and build trust. Such community engagement forges social contracts between people and across various associations, including civic, political and business entities.
