Eleonora Strano
Duration
Eleonora Strano is a photographer, filmmaker, and journalist whose work explores the intersections of memory, territory, and ecological transformation. A graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie in Arles and recipient of the EMI-CFD Prize, she has exhibited widely in France and internationally, including the Bibliothèque nationale de France, the Photo Vogue Festival in Milan, and Circulation(s). Alongside her editorial work, she develops visual and documentary projects supported by institutions such as the Fondation des Artistes and the Cité Internationale des Arts. Based in the South of France, she collaborates regularly with cultural and academic institutions.
Now in its second year, Earth Month: Cultures of Action is a collaborative initiative between Goethe-Institut Glasgow, Institut Francais d’Écosse, and Alliance Française Glasgow aimed at fostering cultural exchange and climate action through the lens of artistic and cultural practice. Uniting France, Germany, and Scotland in a dynamic, multidisciplinary dialogue around sustainability, this programme brings together two artists – one based in Germany and one based in France – whose portfolios reflect an engagement with climate, environmental, or ecological themes.
This programme offers two individual artists from Germany and France the opportunity to explore Scotland’s diverse landscapes, sustainability challenges, and emerging climate solutions. The residency will provide a slow travel experience, with the artists journeying by train and/or boat from their home countries to Edinburgh, Glasgow, Cove Park, and Linkshouse in Orkney.
