GET – (The Good Enough Transition)
Led by Trans Europe Halles, GET is a global community of practice that brings together academics, architects, designers, cultural organisations, and grassroots communities from 9 countries on 4 continents.
Focused on local communities, GET’s mission is to research, document and develop affordable, sustainable, and immediately accessible green transformations for art communities worldwide and to redefine the culture and creative industries sector.
Representatives from Burkina Faso, Canada, Cyprus, Denmark, France, Morocco, Malaysia, Mexico, and Sweden join forces to advocate for practical change by drawing on traditional wisdom, community engagement, sustainable architecture, circular design, productive landscaping and responsible farming methods of local systems around the world and four testbeds on the South.
The project is lead by Trans Europe Halles (SE), in collaboration with Institut for X (DE), OCAD University (CA), Culturans (MX), Le plus petit cirque du monde (FR), RTDA Studio (MA), Tamadia (BF), Gardens of the Future (CY) and Borneo Laboratory (MY).
Mexico Testbed
The GET Mexico Testbed explores the agricultural and socio-ecological heritage system of the Chinampas of Xochimilco, currently threatened by the massive urban sprawl of Mexico City, as a source of valuable knowledge and actionable power for green transformation.
Indigenous farmers, scientific researchers, urban youth, and GET partners will interact in a ‘grassroots innovation’ process that merges traditional knowledge, art, and science; to explore how a small ‘grassrootsphere’ can create sustainable cities based on community and nature.
