The Nomadic Island project is an international artist-in-residence project aimed at creating an experimental community involving a group of artists on the one hand and a group of local residents on the other. For a fixed period of three weeks, this experimental platform will offer spaces for creation and exchange where synergies will emerge around the theme of alternative ways of living and working.
The project requires the active participation of all its residents, both for the production of artworks and for the maintenance of an operational community where each person will ensure his or her own contribution to the logistics under a sociocratic governance.
The Nomadic Island project aims to be a platform for exchange and awareness of our living standards and the social and environmental footprint we leave, focusing on the prospect of a more sustainable existence from different perspectives: social, economic, ecological and cultural.
How can art and production generate proposals for concepts and implementations resulting in more sustainable ways of living and working? How can we deal with the moral issues raised by the difference in consumption levels between Western, post-industrial society and developing economies or countries suffering from poverty?

Nomadic Island Workshop: Art (und Weise) of living together - A Social-Ecology perspective
Art (und Weise) of living together - A Social-Ecology perspective by Giulia Carones & Alexander Behm (Institut für Kreative Nachhaltigkeit, Berlin) In this workshop, id22: Institute for Creative Sustainability invites and challenges participants to think about Frugality, Sufficiency and Consistency. As a way to challenge ourselves to find meaningful synergies for sustainable living, the workshop engages participants by asking them to (re)think how can Social-Ecology shape the ways we live together; how personal does it get, to live, work and think sustainably; and how can social and ecological dimensions benefit from each other. Workshop will be held in English and German. Reservation via www.nomadic-island.com

Conference: Direct Democracy, Degrowth, & System Change
“Direct Democracy, Degrowth, & System Change” by Eleanor Finley (University of Massachusetts, Amherst) This presentation explores the relationship between sustainability, degrowth and non-hierarchical forms of governance. Using the frameworks of social ecology and degrowth, we will reflect on how our current system of economic production paradoxically obstructs human flourishing and prosperity. We will also review real-life examples of non-hierarchical governance in action — both past and present — as we consider the possibilities of a future that is ecological, equitable, and free. Conference will be held in English with simultaneous translation to French. Reservation via www.nomadic-island.com
