2024 is the fourth edition of the art festival Greenlight, from now on a triennial. Greenlight puts the spotlight on topical issues related to climate, environment, nature and growth, often referred to as the Green Shift. With exhibition venues located in Grenland – an area historically known as a bastion of industry – the region’s connection to the global climate collapse was an obvious choice for the festival’s long-term topic. There is a steady stream of important contemporary issues, right here in our own back yard. We feel that there is a need for greater and broader commitment in how we meet the climate crisis, and wish to contribute with the art field’s oblique look at the topic.
