Portraits of Climate

"Portraits of Climate" brought climate research and art together for a one-year long cooperation. Art has the unique power to touch people and evoke emotions and reactions. The connection between art and climate research unfolds a remarkable power – it sharpens our awareness of climate change, evokes emotions, and connects us in profound ways. Art and science stem from the same curious, investigative, and creative nature of human beings. Once upon a time, these two fields were inseparably interconnected, and "Portraits of Climate" provides an opportunity to explore the synergies between them. This project is not just about exchanging information, but also about creating something new together that integrates both artistic and scientific perspectives. Each artwork you will see here reflects the cooperation and co-production between artists and scientists, their passion, commitment, and their unique perspectives on the world around us.

What potential does the "Co" in cooperation and co-production hold? What influence can art have on research, and how can both disciplines enrich each other? Do we remain in the roles of the artist or the researcher, or do we go beyond? Are we pushing boundaries? What role has art in education?
