Join us and FUTURES Photography to Explore the Role of Art in Addressing Climate Change
FEDORA's Activities
How can the arts contribute to a more sustainable future? On 12 November 2026, we hosting a panel discussion with FUTURES Photography, a European Photography Platform co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union, as part of their exhibition The Ecology of Movement.
As a European network supporting opera and dance, we are committed to fostering innovation and encouraging cultural organisations to rethink how we create, collaborate and engage with audiences. Through this discussion, we will explore how artistic creation and cultural cooperation can contribute to addressing the climate crisis and advancing environmental responsibility across the cultural sector.
FUTURES is the European Photography Platform supporting the professional development of emerging artists. Founded in 2017 as a collaboration between a small group of photography organisations committed to creating long-term value for contemporary photographers, it has grown into a community connecting artists, organisations, professionals and audiences across countries, practices and photographic contexts.
Meet the speakers
We will bring together perspectives from photography, the performing arts and European cultural cooperation:
Menno Liauw, Director and Founder of FUTURES Photography
Edilia Gänz, Director of FEDORA
Stéphane Segreto-Aguilar, Director at Relais Culture Europe
The discussion will be moderated by Clara Grouzis, journalist and podcast producer at Les Echos.

FUTURES presents The Ecology of Movement
ABOUT THE PROJECT
The Ecology of Movement explores the relationship between photography, environmental responsibility and cultural production, asking how ecological awareness might shape the ways images are made, exhibited and experienced.
Curated by Julia Rajacic, the exhibition brings together five photographers who incorporate ecological constraints into their practices. Through different approaches to materials, processes, technologies and environments, their work explores how limitations can become a source of experimentation and creative possibility.
