    (RE-) CYCLES OF PARADISE by ARTPORT_making waves aims to raise awareness about the interrelation of gender and climate change. The exhibition highlights an important issue which is part of the latest social and global discussions about ecological change on our planet: That of the effects of climate change on women’s lives, and the role of women as agents of change. The complex relationship between gender, climate change, and social circumstances is not a topic limited to female artists or radical activists; it is a reality that affects all of us. The concept originates from the hypothesis that the world is, by necessity, the only possible paradise that we can create and conserve. Starting from this belief, the participating artists explore reasons and manifestations of the interdependences between gender roles and climate change; they illustrate the effects of our behavior and propose innovative ways to recreate a new and sustainable paradise. Various sub-themes of the gender and climate debate like mitigation, adaptation, financial incentive, and technological development are woven into the poetic, interpretative, narrative, and documentary approaches of the artists. In nearly all societies, cultures, and religions, the woman stands for the creation of life, for nurturing and care-taking. And yet, despite these powerful, mythical attributes, women are not only suffering most from social, cultural, and religious inequality but also from the consequences of nature thrown out of balance. This exhibition brings together artists from all over the world who want to make a strong statement in favor of justice and sustainability by emphasizing the correlation of these imbalances. The artworks use the context of climate change to examine the vulnerability and strength of women; the control, or lack thereof, by women over resources; the consequences of forced emigration; illnesses affecting women; and the resilience of women as they face all of these difficulties. An empowered vision of the woman emerges, showing how her abilities and knowledge can transform her role in society, so she can contribute to an emancipated, sustainable, and future-oriented civilization. The exhibition was conceived as much from an aesthetic as a content-driven standpoint. Its effects on the environment and natural resources have been taken into consideration. Many artworks are made of recycled or found material and produced on location, video art doesn’t cause high carbon dioxide emission, and all the equipment will be re-used or recycled.
