“Climate change is no longer a scientific but a societal and policy problem,” PIK said in a statement. “Consequently, various societal groups need to be involved in solution development as well as in debates on what sustainability may look like. To foster exchange and discussion between artists and scientists, the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program, the PIK and the City of Potsdam Department of Culture and Museums have joined resources to offer an artistic residency at PIK.”
