It is our pleasure to invite your submission for artistic contributions at <\/strong>The Nature of Cities Festival<\/strong><\/a>, a global virtual gathering of interdisciplinary thinkers and doers working toward greener cities for nature and all people. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We will review submissions for artworks, performances, films, interventions, micro-talks, and practical workshops about cities and nature that resonate with the theme: radical imagination with nature and all people<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We want to see your ideas for engaging participants in sensory experiences, as well as disturbing the habitual flow of traditional online convenings. Proposed works can address ideas such as social and environmental justice, multi-species \/ pluriverses, care or stewardship, the concept of reciprocity in cities and nature, or direct actions in the local landscape, considering how these actions\/events\/stories can be woven together in a more equitable, inclusive, global sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a largely volunteer-produced event with many possibilities for free entry. With the exception of a small stipend for live performances, the festival does not have financial means to support the creation of new content. As such, we encourage submission of pre-existing works, or existing collaborations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please join us, to help nurture relationships and ideas in this global festival!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
