Welcome to the innovative project “One Week, One Object”,
A bold initiative that unites artistic creativity, sustainable degrowth, the democratization of art, and popular cultural education.
Every week, 52 talented artists commit to reinterpreting an object on canvas, thus creating an artistic dialogue deeply connected to contemporary ecological issues. Our mission is to raise awareness, promote sustainable degrowth, and stimulate reflection on the political solutions of tomorrow through impactful artistic symbolism.

Prestigious Events
Final Exposition

Ecology and Art: An Interdisciplinary Dialogue
Degrowth

Author : Serge Latouche, a French economist, is a fervent defender of degrowth, emphasizing the need to rethink our ways of life.
Democratization of Art
Concept : The democratization of art aims to make art accessible to a wider audience, eliminating traditional socio-economic barriers.
Author : Pierre Bourdieu, a French sociologist, has contributed to the understanding of cultural dynamics and inequalities in access to art.
Popular Cultural Education
Concept : Popular cultural education seeks to empower individuals through access to culture, promoting a critical understanding of the world.
Author : Paulo Freire, a Brazilian educator, developed the concept of education as an instrument for social transformation.
Ecology and Committed Art
Concept : Engaged art in ecology uses creativity as a means to raise awareness about environmental issues and encourage action.
Author : Joseph Beuys, a German artist, incorporated ecological concepts into his art, advocating for a holistic approach to nature.
Environmental Psychology

The interplay of these intertwined concepts defines a powerful framework for artistic and ecological exploration. The convergence of degrowth, the democratization of art, popular cultural education, engaged art, environmental psychology, and behavioral economics provides a holistic perspective to stimulate reflection and catalyze change. In this fusion of ideas, we discover the transformative power of art and ecology to build a more sustainable and inclusive future.
