HEADQUARTERS at Gallery Poulsen is a collaboration platform, idea tank, and exhibition space representing the most visible, inventive and inspiring campaigns toward climate justice during COP 15.
*HQ will be a physical site for the melding of content and form, building a structure spanning between artist and activist and allowing for spontaneous interplay and collaboration. Participants will learn from each other and exchange ideas in this experimentation ground for unconventional social justice action.
Bringing together artist Thierry Geoffroy/Colonel, the Yes Men, the Avaaz.org Climate Action Factory, and ActionAid, HQ will build a cluster monitoring and responding in real time to the daily events in and around the Climate Conference. Reacting from within this historic moment, HQ will project a coherent voice while shaping the daily narration of media and press coverage. By providing increased visibility and unity, HQ will serve as a center from which to strategize, act, and broadcast issues outward.
*HQ AIMS TO:
* Carry concepts from thought to action in a matter of hours
* Document the HQ process so that other activists can replicate its structure elsewhere
* Support an ambitious, fair, and binding treaty at COP15
