Maskbook is an international, collective and creative action launched in 2015 with the aim to raise awareness about the environmental impact of climate change on our health. From Beijing to Nairobi and many places in between, more than 50 Maskbook workshops and exhibitions were organised with more than 1500 participants from over 30 countries. The gallery of mask portraits create a unique collaborative and worldwide piece of art , offering a means of expressing creative and ecological ideas and solutions. Bringing together art, social entrepreneurship and the youth movement in a unique initiative, Maskbook aims to reduce climate change and promote ecological transition through culture, digital media and co-creation.

Art of Change 21 was created in 2014 ahead of the United Nations Paris Climate Change conference (COP21). It is the first initiative in the world to bring together art, social entrepreneurship and the youth movement. With Olafur Eliasson as its patron, the Paris-based Art of Change 21 works to reduce climate change and promote ecological transition through culture, digital media and co-creation. It units 21 artists, social entrepreneurs and young “green” leaders from 12 countries. It leads MASKBOOK and CAiRE GAME projects. It is founded and chaired by Alice Audouin, a French renown player in art and sustainability.
