How does an arts organization transition into a more active and equitable climate constituent? BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art as case study.

理性-在波罗的海的Andrea Phillips教授和Alister Scott教授的指导下，以及波罗的海的Katie Hickman自己对该项目的进一步潜在方向的指导下，本案例研究将以最近关于东北部艺术机构(Donkin&Hudson，2019)及其与当地地区和社区的关系的工作为基础，以及在考虑机构变革的方法时如何将这一点考虑在内。考虑到波罗的海对其可持续发展价值观的肯定和开展实际工作，例如，它与慈善机构Julie‘s Bicle合作监测环境影响，本案例研究将其定位为一个使命驱动型艺术组织，在再生的工业建筑中运营，并寻求以当地社区的需求为中心(Carnegie&Drencheva，2019)。波罗的海的总部设在英国经济最贫困的地区之一盖茨黑德--这一因素往往是参与艺术的障碍，波罗的海承认这一事实，并在其《消除贫困》(儿童东北，2020)中寻求解决这一问题。考虑到这一点，个案研究将力求侧重于社区参与和合作如何能够在生态可持续性和社会正义方面带来积极的体制和行为变化。随着波罗的海承认自己的“对可持续发展和气候变化采取行动的机构”(Julie‘s Biiccle 2020)，这个机构可以在多大程度上由居住在周围地区的人们拥有，如果是这样的话，如何拥有？

RationaleWith guidance from BALTIC Professor Andrea Phillips and Professor Alister Scott, as well as BALTIC's own Katie Hickman on further potential directions for the project, this case study will build on recent work on arts institutions in the North East (Donkin & Hudson, 2019) and their relation to their local area and communities, and how this can be taken into account when considering an approach for institutional change. Considering BALTIC's affirmation of and developing practical work on its values of sustainability, for instance its partnership with the charity Julie's Bicycle to monitor environmental impact, this case study positions it as a mission-driven arts organisation, operating as it does from a regenerated industrial building and seeking to centre the needs of its local community (Carnegie & Drencheva, 2019). BALTIC is based in Gateshead, one of the UK's most economically deprived areas - a factor that is often a barrier to participation in the arts, a fact BALTIC acknowledges and seeks to address in its "poverty proofing" (Children North East, 2020). With this in mind, the case study would seek to focus in on how community engagement and cooperation can lead to positive institutional and behavioural change with regards to ecological sustainability and social justice. With BALTIC recognising its own "agency to act on sustainability and climate change" (Julie's Bicycle 2020), to what extent can this agency be owned by people living in the surrounding area, and if so, how?
