The final winner, selected by public vote, was awarded an artist residency at Largo das Artes, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The projection will include work by BitteBitteJaJa (Ulu Braun/Roland Rauschmeier, Germany/Austria), Lia Chaia (Brazil), Magdalena Correa (Chile), Fernando Cortés (Honduras), Marina Fraga (Brazil), Payal Kapadia (India), Bodo Korsig (Germany), Katja Loher (Switzerland), Lucía Madriz (Costa Rica), Danushka Marasinghe (Sri Lanka), Christian Niccoli (Germany), Iván Puig Domene (Mexico), Rafael Quintas (Brazil), Abderrahmane Sissako (Mauritania), and Janaina Tschäpe (Germany, Brazil, US).

ARTPORT_making waves is an international curatorial practice that raises awareness about environmental issues with a focus on climate change through art exhibitions, video projects, residency programs, advisory and educational programs, as well as collaborations linking art, science, and politics with the aim of inspiring social change.
