CreaTures – Creative Practices for Transformational Futures was an EU Horizon 2020 research project investigating the potential of creative practices in art, design, and related cultural fields to support positive eco-social change. The project responded to current social and environmental challenges and proposed how creative practies can help foster more resilient and respectful ways of planetary co-existence.
The project involved four interrelated components, including the Observatory identifying and mapping existing, fragmented and often hidden transformational creative practices; the Laboratory mounting several different scales and types of creative arts production; the Evaluation segment testing new and existing creative practices for their impact; and a series of Engagement events enabling broad access to the evolving project outcomes.
The CreaTures Framework emerging as one of the key results of our co-creative work (2020- 2022) sets out how creative practices can stimulate action towards eco-socially sustainable futures.
