Public discourses and languages of sustainability and global challenges, such as migration, food security and climate change, often serve as a containment that limits what we know, as well as what we do not know culturally, socially and politically. Art and design often have the power to reshape how we see the world. Breaking Containment is a public lab, aiming to serve as a space for conversation, collaboration and creation with the public, artists and thinkers. We believe that artistic design and creativity can create new ways of approaching sustainability, opening up possibilities to engage with urgent global issues—not just through words, but through shared making, questioning and reimagining.
