Earth Cultures and Earth Artistry
An inclusive Earth civilisation requires that the timeless wisdom of each of our cultures, and the creative expressions of all our fellow beings be fully voiced and deeply heard, so we can jointly shape a culture of humanity, peace, and integrity.
Cultures emerge from human interaction with the nature we inhabit, and with the mystery of life. Our cultures shape our humanity. Art expresses and evolves our humanity. Creativity enables us to restore our humanity and revitalize our cultures,
especially in times of crisis and transition, such as we now face on a global scale.

Local artists will be connected with
a planetary community of earth artists and change makers. Artists' stories will be curated into a short interview series about transforming the present through the Arts to reimagine
a shared future for all life.
A planetary digital exhibition of Earth Artistry will be built up over the 7 years. Immersive and transformative exhibitions and performances will be showcased digitally and physically in each community/country at the end of every year
Transformative exhibitions and performances
Globally connected Earth Artists
will share their methodologies,
wisdom and innovations to co-author
an open access toolkit for transformative and regenerative practices in the cultural sector.

"How do we transform our divided world and endangered planet
into an inclusive home for the diverse family of life on Earth?"

as well as online through the digital planetary exhibitions for the world to experience.

THEATRE
OF TRANSFORMATION
Building Peace and Justice
"Theatre of Transformation" was developed at the University of Oxford under the auspices of the 'Enacting Global Transformation Initiative' at the Centre for International Studies, by Rama Mani with diverse collaborators in academia, governance, civil society and the arts.
It is a powerful methodology and catalytic artform that engages global leaders and policy makers as well as local peace and justice practitioners and crisis-affected communities to respond humanely, creatively and effectively to crises.
Through enacted real-life testimonies of transformation from around the world, it takes participants through an experiential, interactive four-stage process to transform themselves and their societies, in order to enact human and global transformation.
THE POETRY
OF INTEGRAL DEVELOPMENT
Unleashing Genius
Integral Poetry is an invitation to embark on a participatory poetic journey of regeneration. Transformative poetry – fused with music, movement, dance and integration exercises – guides us through a holistic development process via a series of inner stages: from initiation to integration. The Integral Poetics of Regeneration enables us to experience and release our personal genius and collective power.
