Long-term art projects LTAP
Stewards of long-term art projects started collaborating in 2022 in an effort to ensure not only the continuation of their projects but to let them help to secure the continuation of civilisation itself and foster the reduction of existential and catastrophic risks. The collaboration grew out of discussions in June 2022 about the question "What can art do for the future?"
