'Nature and Art' by Maja Fowkes (more...)

According to the opinion of leading anthropologists, art is a kind of biologically-based behaviour, which is conditioned by the universal human need to make things special. Starting from that idea, that we all have a born need for creativity and that art is something that people create, not just consume, we have decided on the occasion of Earth Day to invite our citizens to exhibit their photographs on the theme of the Power and Vunerability of Nature.

In that way, we tried to awaken the artist in ourselves, and at the same time make us sensitive towards nature. Also, by inviting groups related to nature in our town, we wanted to get to know each other, get closer, and hoping slowly to take a place in the everyday space of our thoughts.

Under the notion of human creativity we understand connectedness, social responsibilty and ecological attunement. We have given our views about art and nature, and our wish is on the round table to find out more about other fields of activity. We can express our creativity in order to awaken a better connectedness between ourselves, higher responsibilty, and ecological sensibility, in other words, how to live in harmony with nature.
