ABOUT 

sā was founded with the passion and love for landscapes, environment and communities and with a focus on engaging people from all walks of life – particularly young adults and the next generation, the future custodians of the land. sā's values have been centred on the principles of climate optimism: "Climate optimism isn’t about denying what we can see with our own eyes or ignoring our grief for what we’ve lost. It’s understanding that we know how to prevent things from getting worse and that we’re making progress." As such we aim to inspire cross-cultural, multi-generational and multi-disciplinary dialogue and exchange, appreciation and care for the natural world through Regenerative Land Art.

Regenerative Land Art
 

• Art made out of locally sourced, recycled, renewable, biodegradable and/or reusable/repurposable material, which does not have a negative impact on the environment.

• Art which does not leave a negative impact behind or is repurposed or reused in a regenerative manner.

• Art which shows solutions to environmental issues and focuses on climate optimism, understands local context and cultures and engages with local communities to find solutions.

• Art which integrates the above principles in the whole creative life-cycle: from sourcing, to creating, to waste, to the future of an artwork.

• Artists who strive to integrate this or a similar community and environment conscious approach based on mindfulness and respect into their practice.

• Art that obeys diversity, dignity and inclusion. Welcoming everyone and anyone, signifying a symbiotic relationship with environment, lives and conveying a story.

• Art that can raise awareness and engage people and sensitise them to climatic solutions at local and global levels.
