The Emotion for Change project took shape in 2015, with the aim of creating greater awareness of climate change through music and making listeners feel an active part of the solution.
Numerous Italian and foreign musicians, as well as performers, videomakers and photographers, participate in the project.
Some of them in particular gave life to the collective EMC (Emotion For Change) with which they created musical albums and performances contaminated by art, science, culture, and society.
With the aim of freeing art and science from primarily commercial logics, the entrepreneurs of our group, with their companies, support this project with their ideas, their organizational skills, their network of knowledge and their abilities to identify and activate resources consistent with the spirit that animates us in order to obtain financial support for our projects.
The artists share their project proposals with scientists and entrepreneurs, in order to collaborate in synergy on the same lines of thought, contributing to the expansion of the network of participants and the search for funds for the realization of the shared works.
Scientists collaborate with artists and entrepreneurs in the realization of artistic projects, substantiating them with their knowledge, thus adding authority to the expression of emotions aroused by art.
The change that we promote “outside” we want first of all “inside”, as a group and as individuals, considering in this sense fundamental the work of self-education that goes in the direction of a social practice based on listening and respect for mutual diversity of thought, to be valued as an enrichment of the group and an opportunity for new learning.
This Manifesto wants to be the guide of our feeling, our thinking, our acting
Each of us contributes with his own skills and has faith in the skills and action of others.
OUR VISION
“Economy supports, science inspires, art transforms”
We are a group of artists, scientists and entrepreneurs who meet to recognize in art the power to transform reality, to expand individual and collective awareness, to generate possible worlds.
We understand art as a means to convey beauty and content substantiated by the world of science: we refer to science that looks at Nature with the wonder of a child and the prudence of a wise elder.
We believe that art can become an effective tool for sharing knowledge when supported by the world of economics: a wise and far-sighted economy, capable of ensuring that art and science can act free from the logic of profit.
We recognize ourselves as beings not separate but interconnected with Nature, and therefore we want to collaborate with it in a harmonious and responsible way.
The art that interests us is that which allows us to seek and nourish a new relationship with ourselves, with others and with Nature, of which we are a part.
OUR PURPOSE
- The rediscovery of oneself, or rather promoting self-awareness, to broaden the vision of the person as a unique, unrepeatable individuality, bearer and dispenser of talents that everyone can benefit from.
- The rediscovery of others, or rather the search for encounters, dialogue, co-laboration in which all human beings have space and equal dignity, in full respect of diversity, whether social and/or cultural.
- The rediscovery of Nature, or rather the Self as part of a Whole. We want to take care of our relationship with the environment, inspiring changes in consumption models, promoting post-growth and the exit from the anthropocentric vision.
Through artistic projects that accompany reflection on our world and our humanity, it is our intent to transmit messages of trust, inspiration and proactiveness to imagine and act on a change.
We want to form heterogeneous working groups of artists, representatives of the world of research and culture, scientists and exponents of economic life; as well as between artists, scientists and researchers of different fields and orientations.
We aim to use a constructive and proactive language.
Wanting to nurture the ability to dream as well as to act, we reject the tools of fear as drivers of change.
We give importance to artistic quality, understanding it as isomorphic to the values of commitment, attention, care and dedication.
We welcome imperfections as an integral part of a living and accomplished artistic gesture.
We are interested in creating relationships with those who show a similar drive, opening mutual channels of collaboration.
We intend to generate a model for an autopoietic and replicable ecosystem
At each Emotion for Change concert, a local scientist is invited to describe the future climate scenarios of the city or region concerned through his or her words.
