Art of the Second Renaissance

https://secondrenaissance.net/art

Art as a catalyst for transformation.

Art of the Second Renaissance is a new art movement aiming to redefine how art is made and to contribute to the emergence of a Second Renaissance. Its core activities include developing a manifesto, forming a collective, producing an annual magazine, hosting exhibitions, and creating projects that embody the movement’s principles.

The Manifesto

https://secondrenaissance.net/art/manifesto

Seeking an artistic tribe for an emerging cultural paradigm. For all the living beings whose heart burns to see a new world emerge

The manifesto essay marks the beginning of the Second Renaissance Art Collective. It lays out vision and principles, setting the stage for what we hope will be a new artistic tribe and movement. This work comes from a deep place in the heart, and we’re eager to hear how it resonates with others—whether it speaks to them, intrigues them, or even challenges them. We welcome it all.

The Magazine

https://secondrenaissance.net/art/magazine

As part of our work, we have launched an annual magazine. Our first issue of our magazine is on the theme of Impermanence. Across religions there is often the practice of sitting with the impermanent nature of life. From the five remembrance to the memento mori, these contemplation allows us to grow our wisdom and insight of inter-connectedness.

Exhibition

https://secondrenaissance.net/art/exhibition

Each year we curate an exhibition and a magazine to share the artistic embodiment of transformation for a Second Renaissance with the world. Our first exhibition was on the theme of Impermanence and took place in Thénac France in April 2024.

Come to the Launch

We look forward to welcoming you and celebrating a new creative dawn. 🎉 🌅🎉
