Addressing the global crisis of climate change.
Through collective activation of cultural spaces within the city of Ahmedabad, we aim to underline the shifting global temperatures and its long term impact driven by human activities, especially those of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). Additionally setting inquiry on the devious exploitation of land, deforestation, pollution, contamination — all while addressing concepts of sustainability, carbon neutrality, protecting biodiversity and conserving the environment for a better tomorrow.
The second edition of Ahmedabad Cultural Week (ACW Ed.2), looks to call attention towards acts and implications of the ongoing global crisis of climate change and its wider effects on Earth’s climate system, with 18 venues as part :

Responsibility
statement
Our mission is to celebrate contemporary art and make it accessible as possible.
To do so with integrity, we must address the challenges that threaten artists, communities, and cultural ecosystems worldwide.
We recognise that addressing the climate crisis is inseparable from tackling global inequalities. Our environmental actions will be guided by the principles of climate justice, ensuring that our efforts support the needs of those most affected by climate and social injustice.
Accessibility is also an inherent part of all activities. Ahmedabad Cultural Week
looks towards having an overall ethos of inclusion for all — older people, families
with small children, carers, friends and relatives who accompany guests with
particular requirements.
We use our very first edition, ACW Ed.1 as a stepping stone to refine the editions to come. Adopting an access for all principle across will mean giving consideration to existing legislation covering discrimination based on grounds of disability, published access guidance and recognised best practice.
Ahmedabad Cultural Weekend will track annually on our progress. We welcome feedback, collaboration, and accountability from our partners, galleries, and audiences as we continue this work.
