CYCLE UP! - Let’s talk about Bicycles and Culture

 © CYCLE UP!

A podcast at the crossroads of art, culture, and sustainability. In each episode, we journey through vibrant cities like Katowice, Tartu, Berlin, Prague, and Bratislava to explore how creativity and local communities are transforming urban spaces and making them more bicycle-friendly.

Join us as we speak with artists, city officials, and everyday citizens about innovative projects that inspire a shift towards cycling for all ages and abilities. We'll uncover how art can challenge social norms, spark conversations about sustainability, and push for a greener, more connected future. Together, we’ll also discover ways to make artistic practices themselves more environmentally responsible, from local collaborations to minimising the carbon footprint of artist-in-residence programs.

Tune in to hear stories of how art and bicycles are driving change in the face of the climate emergency.
