Partnership — Earth Month 2025 – Cultures of Action: Slow Travel Artists’ Residency

Earth Month 2025 is a collaborative initiative between Goethe-Institut Glasgow, Institut Français d’Écosse, and ClimateCulture, 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.

Taking place 28 March – 23 April 2025, this programme offers Charlotte Bracho (France) and Antonia Ablass (Germany) 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.

The residency is realised in cooperation with the School of Fine Art, and the School of Design, the Glasgow School of Art.
