The influence of ar t on the climate crisis

Art is powerful. For centuries, it has been used to convey political messages, both by those in power and by activists . Cartoons influence elections, and presidents censor museums. But how exa ctly does the power of art work? In this programme, we explore how art can influence public debate and policymaking around the climate crisis.

What works, and what doesn’t? How can cultural institutions and artists c ollaborate, what do they need from one another, and who bears which respon sibilities?

At Art = Power, artists and cultural in stitutions come together to explore these questions through inspiring exam ples. The aim is to ensure that the power of art can be harnessed not only by those in power, but by all of us.

Moderated by Dymphie Braun, th e conversation will bring together the following guests:

Pin opotato is a socially engaged artist and visual strategist. She c reates large-scale installations, develops creative concepts, and is dedic ated to making left-wing politics sexy.

Bureau Vergezicht is a theatre company that creates investigative and immersive stori es about power, climate, and responsibility, including the award-winning p roduction De zaak Shell (The Shell Case). The company explores the role of artists in a world facing the climate crisis, encouraging citizens, multi national corporations, and policymakers to reflect and take action far bey ond the theatre.

Jurry Oortwijn is Head of Marketin g and a member of the Management Team at Paradiso, Amsterdam’s iconic musi c venue. He leads communications, contributes to the organisation’s strate gic innovation, and ensures that its cultural and social impact reaches bo th local and global audiences.

Since its founding, Paradiso has been much more than a concert venue: it brings together music and nightlife wi th activism, counterculture, and open dialogue. Jurry’s work builds on thi s legacy, helping Paradiso remain both a stage for world-class artists and a platform for cultural and social exchange.

This year, Warming U p Festival is not asking how you can live more sustainably. It is asking w hy so many people, especially young people, have tuned out of a conversati on that may affect them more than anyone.

Not out of indifference, b ut because of mental exhaustion. Because of climate anxiety and guilt. Bec ause of a system that places the emphasis on individual responsibility, wh ile the biggest polluters and fossil fuel subsidies largely remain out of the spotlight. And sometimes also because a climate movement that seems to demand perfection rather than participation.

You can’t save the wor ld alone. Fortunately, you don’t have to. Warming Up Festival therefore ta kes a different approach: solidarity instead of penance.

For three d ays, the festival brings together art, journalism, music and conversation around the question of how individual choices relate to systems that are l argely beyond our control, and where we can actually make a difference as a collective. It is a festival that makes room for imperfection, for doubt and for new forms of engagement.
