1. Slow down and think ahead

upprojects — 2025-08-11 17:44:17 UTC

Creative interventions in public space can enable the ecological systems they inhabit to grow and evolve in ways that are beneficial for human and more-than-human communities. This requires a shift in mindset where public art is not just understood as a permanent intervention in a public space, but rather as a process that evolves over time. When establishing a new project, imagine what it will become in the future. How will it support the ecosystems it coexists with? What will its afterlife be? So many decisions that result in an increased carbon footprint are driven by tight timescales; but if we can slow things down and allow ourselves to think ahead, it is possible to shift from being delivery-driven to being legacy-oriented.

2. Make mindful decisions

upprojects — 2025-08-11 18:01:35 UTC

Devise projects that have a low carbon impact, produce minimal waste, support communities and improve ecosystems. Creating and producing art in the public realm is complex, often constrained by agendas and parameters beyond our immediate control such as tight budgets and timescales. Acknowledge that compromises often have to be made, but ensure that environmental responsibility is always foregrounded. Keeping a decisions journal that documents how and why decisions that increase the project’s carbon footprint are made, can assist with making decisions mindfully and with due care.

3. Amplify artists’ unique voices

upprojects — 2025-08-11 18:03:20 UTC

Artists have a specific role to play in enabling the shift towards regenerative practice due to their ability to tell vivid stories that positively change mindsets. Art can lead by example, provoke discussions, shift perspectives, question value systems and create desire for a better world. Public art in particular has a key role to play in cultivating our capacity for imagining and visualising diverse, regenerative futures that are rooted in place. This is the first step towards bringing about the positive change we want to see in the world. Art’s power of storytelling can activate people and reignite their sense of agency.

4. Challenge worldviews

upprojects — 2025-08-11 18:05:54 UTC

Regenerative practice requires us to address the deep narratives that underpin the way we see the world, starting with the contemporary western view that humans are separate from nature. If we reposition ourselves as part of the living world, both in the way we work and in the stories we tell, we can start to produce projects that will reconnect us with all of life. It is essential that this unlearning and relearning is done in ways that do not perpetuate legacies of harm and exploitation, but instead, actively centre and support the communities that have upheld their ancestral knowledges and practices, and that are often now on the frontline of climate impacts.

5. Localise the work

upprojects — 2025-08-11 18:06:12 UTC

Develop work that is responsive to the unique character of a place, its communities as well as its ecosystems and biodiversity. Drawing on the knowledge of local people who understand and are already taking care of their local environment will root the work in the culture of a place, and enable an environmentally supportive approach that is context-specific. Sourcing local makers, fabricators and materials will reduce the need for travel and shipping, support the local economy and enhance local connectedness.
