Art Translates
The climate crisis is often communicated through data, targets, and deadlines. Art gives those abstractions a human scale: grief, memory, complicity, repair, and imagination.
About
Climate Art Collection
A Berlin-based non-profit archive for contemporary artworks engaging climate change, ecology, extraction, repair, and transition.
Climate Art Collection collects and maintains a public digital archive of climate-change related artworks. The platform helps artists, curators, exhibition spaces, galleries, educators, and institutions discover work that can make ecological transformation visible and discussable.
The archive is built around a simple belief: art can communicate what climate language often cannot. It can hold contradiction, grief, responsibility, and hope without reducing them to a campaign slogan.
The work is carried by Ronald Anzenberger, Alexander Doudkin, Lotte Koterewa, Milan Kroehl, Sophie Midori Toelke, Katerina Zachou and Dr. Stephanie Guse.
Manifesto
The Archive Connects
The collection gathers artworks and makes them usable for curators, institutions, educators, researchers, and cultural workers who want climate-related work to be seen.
Access Matters
The archive should be searchable, lightweight, and public. It exists to help climate art circulate rather than disappear inside private folders, one-off exhibitions, or social feeds.
