  1. Remember when this artist placed 1,000 melting ice sculptures in Berlin to show the effects of climate change?

    In Berlin’s Gendarmenmarkt square, Brazilian artist Nele Azevedo created a powerful art display to talk about climate change. She placed 1,000 small ice sculptures on the steps of the square, each shaped like a person. As the day got warmer and the sun shone brighter, the sculptures began to melt. This showed how global warming is affecting our planet. The event, organized with WWF Germany, focused on how the Arctic’s ice is melting faster than ever because of rising temperatures. This […]

  2. 🧵 1/2 Preparing the texts for my exhibition of the #BiodiversityShrines feels so cringe! 😱 The texts are written in 2043, like this one (still uncorrected):
    "The exhibit is probably a so-called supplication stick, as it was widely made at that time. People who did not want to despair of the indifference towards #ClimateChange and the #extinction of species made the supplication sticks and passed them around in a circle in a #ritual.

  3. "Du pain, du vin et du boursin" - #artInProcess #artInProgress One of my #BiodiversityShrines -- here a try about #FoodSecurity not yet finished. (The French publicity was the first in television in 1968, changing the way of manipulation and consumerism completely.) #embroidery #PoliticalStitching #Activism #assemblage #ArtActivism #crops #wheat #grain #Klosterarbeiten #biodiversityLoss #craftivism

  4. Finally, the idea for my #exhibition! " #Archaeologists made a revolutionary #discovery in 2033. In the vicinity of pottery shards from the late Betschdorf and Soufflenheim cultures (early 21st century), they found objects reminiscent of ancient #reliquaries. An antique QR code will be provided for you to visit this page. You can also beam up in the form of a hologram." 😎 😂 ▶️ cronenburg.net/reliquaires/ #SciArt #ArtActivism #BiodiversityShrines #BiodiversityLoss #archaeology #butterflies

  5. Finally the penny has dropped! I have an exhibition showcase at a rather conservative #embroidery festival. My #BiodiversityShrines are provocative in a region with farmers who spray pesticides twice when the soil is broken (their logic) and far too many people vote for Le Pen. My idea: I build them up as #archaeological #museum exhibits from the #future! #Subversive. Catch them by #beauty and #colours and when they are hooked ... bang! 😁 #EcoArt #ArtActivism #assemblage #activism #biodiversity

  6. Today, I finished a new one of my #BiodiversityShrines feat. Jordanita subsolana, a #butterfly now extinct in our region. My #shrines are a mixture of #paperArt #nature, elements of #culturalHeritage materials and "civilisation" #waste, like the 8 cm wide cheese box and the precious #plastic-cement-waste. My inspirations come from #klosterarbeiten, #reliquaries #naturalHistory #museums and my brain.

  7. 1/2 #LostSpecies vanish like a #cigarette. This was my first connotation when I discovered some #vintage cigarette boxes for my #BiodiversityShrines. Inspired by ancient #klosterarbeiten, they contain fantasy species, precious materials like #perlage and "civilisation" #waste. The realistic #PaperArt #butterfly sits on #wire found in a flowerless meadow. #BiodiversityLoss My #shrines are a project for an exhibition in October. #mixedmedia #ArtInABox #assemblageArt #artActivism #embroidery

  8. And here it is, an #intropost in which I list as many hashbrowns as possible! Incoming hashbrowns!

    I’m pretty sure I’m on the planet to help people, and right now I’m pretty sure the greatest help to us all lies in overthrowing oppressive systems. Trying to live #antifascism, #antiracism / #AntiRacist, #bodyjustice / #antifatphobia, #AntiAbleism / #antiableist, pro #lbgtqai, #landback ideas and practices, and to engage in #interdependence through #mutualaid, #community, individual irl relationships, and #directaction . Since I am #disabled with #autoimmune bullshit (#spondy, #spondyloarthritis , and #lupus / #borderlinelupus) I am very interested in #ArtAction , #artactivism, and #musicactivism (that I can do from home.)

    My background is in #finearts and I love every single #crafting / #craft / #maker activity out there. Right now I’m obsessed with #procreate and #sewing. I’m also a layperson #herbalist and #gardener.

    I have learned that I am happiest as a #catparent with exactly #4cats in the house (which I currently have.)

    I’m pretty sure identity is super fluid, so it feels funny putting up labels, but I am also #demisexual, #witchy, #neurodivergent, #homebody. I love #tea, #starwars, #surrealism and #dadaism, and my excellent partner. I have a high tolerance for #weird.

    So there ya go.
