CIRCUL’ARTs develops an innovative methodology to stimulate the emergence of solutions towards more circular and sustainable cities, based on a ‘dynamic ecology of knowledge’. This implies new ways of co-creating knowledge, sharing it and transforming it into action, orientating our learning towards more practical action. Most of all, this new methodology consists in stepping out of a Euro-centric perspective and taking into consideration plural voices and needs, ancestral and indigenous knowledge, creative micro-strategies developed at a local level – a body of information that has remained hitherto unconsidered.

We envision bringing this knowledge into a global circulation, appealing to artistic practice – as a form of creating information exchange in a participative and creative way and of producing topic solutions. Art, and the de-colonisation of thought and knowledge will allow us to develop a methodology that is in itself sustainable and circular.
