#6 A Fairytale of Ecological Justice – Description

Artistic approach

How Ideas Become an Audio Installation
The journey from concept to performance was managed through a structured artistic and research process, led by Kovács Dezdemóna.

Artistic Concept Development: 

Each young ambassador created their own vision for addressing ecological justice through storytelling. These ideas were refined under Dezdemóna’s mentorship, focusing on how ecological themes intersect with social realities.

Research and Community Engagement: 

The ambassadors designed and distributed questionnaires to diverse focus groups, gathering insights on ecological concerns and societal challenges. The responses, including those from marginalised groups, shaped the story’s plot and characters.

Among the questionnaire respondents were individuals who, optionally and voluntarily, disclosed belonging to ethnic and national minority groups or shared experiences of facing disadvantages due to their birth gender. The survey responses represented a wide range of perspectives, including those of individuals living in Hungary and abroad, as well as younger and older participants. This diversity enriched the narrative, ensuring that it resonated across varied social and cultural contexts.
 

Narrative Creation: 

The data was analysed, and the ambassadors collaboratively wrote the story. Symbolism was used to translate abstract ecological issues into relatable experiences, ensuring the narrative resonated emotionally.

Production: 

Using AI tools, the story was voiced and enhanced with sound effects. The performance space was designed with a minimalist, eco-conscious approach, emphasizing sustainability in both materials and execution.

Facilitation: 

During the installation, the ambassadors leveraged their prior experience in green storytelling to engage the audience meaningfully, blending artistic and ecological themes into a cohesive experience.
