Pacesetters: Rural and remote artistic practices driving the climate transition

How can cultural practices driving the climate transition be supported through decentralized infrastructures? Instead of starting from major urban centers, PACESETTERS focus on peripheral and rural contexts as sites of artistic research and practice. Current cases include Genalguacil (a small village in southern Spain), Nowa Huta (a socialist realist district in Kraków), and Galway (on Europe’s western edge). Together with this Horizon Europe consortium, and 100Funds, New Silk Roads is developing and testing a pre-accelerator model and impact fund for artistic entrepreneurship in rural and remote areas.
