OPEN CALL for Marginal Storytellers >>> The Urban Green Blueprint 🌿🏙️

We are looking for 3 Bucharest-based creators (journalists, storytellers, researchers or visual artists) to join The Urban Green Blueprint – interested in environmental issues, interdisciplinary storytelling, and moving beyond data visualization towards knowledge production.

The selected participants will work alongside 4 artists and 4 researchers from the Institute of Biology Bucharest and 2Celsius documenting the "behind the scenes" of the project through process journalism and personal narratives.

We are looking for subjective lenses to translate complex data into engaging stories about dark diversity, landscape amnesia, and our more-than-human neighbors.
