Fold Media Collective Initiatives (Guarantee) Ltd
This project addresses the growing need for standardized procedures, exhibition strategies, and sustainable design in South Asian arts festivals and initiatives, promoting environmentally conscious practices in exhibition displays, artwork logistics, and production. It aims to foster long-term ecological consciousness and climate sustainability within the cultural sector, targeting 15-20 young cultural producers, including students and self-trained professionals. Through workshops and learning sessions, participants will be equipped to integrate climate-responsible strategies into their creative work. Colomboscope will implement these practices in its next edition and share the standard operating procedures across the regional arts sector to inspire broader change.
