As a climatic factor as well as a local recreation area, the Weißer See is an important part of the Pankow district and has developed into a high-density meeting place in recent years. Yearly falling water levels and brown grass as well as hardly any rest periods for the flora and fauna are the results of an increasing use of the urban natural space and human influence on climatic conditions. Can art provide a new perspective on the situation and generate alternative concepts for understanding nature? Is environmental protection classist in nature, and if so, how can we change this? The festival aims to create low-threshold access to this topic, design artistic utopias and initiate sustainable solutions. The works are based on nature in their choice of materials and aesthetic criteria, and the conscious use of resources is at the forefront of all the works. The exhibition questions the developments that have led to the current climate crisis, as well as urban social processes in dealing with green spaces. In view of the planned redesign of the riverside promenade, the format is also intended as a discussion platform for the preservation of the ecology of the surrounding area.
