Draw the Line is Ecoart - Curatorial Project's fourth exhibition. This project allows Ecolint students to discover the profession of exhibition curator with the help of a specialist in the field. From chosing the artwork, to hanging and displaying it, students manage all the stages of the organization of the event.

In the unique context of the global health crisis, and in a spirit of the times marked by major crises that affect life, the Ecoart team has explored the relationships between art and environment, and art and ecology.

This non exhaustive exhibition is an aesthetic, political and poetic knitting and weaving. It is non-literal, non-prophetic, and without tragic observation. It accepts to escape any form of definitive answer, of literality, and seeks to offer an opportunity to think and share around these essential themes, to metabolize a burning question, while leaving the works to exist by and for themselves. The solutions vibrate within the space between them.

"Right here, right now is where we draw the line. The world is waking up. And change is coming, whether you like it or not." Greta Thundberg
