Art Speaks Out is an annual video art initiative by ikonoTV, curated through an international Open Call, with selected works showcased during the UN Climate Change Conferences (COPs). It explores how video artists and filmmakers illuminate environmental issues, helping us engage with these urgent topics in a creative, emotional, and impactful way.

Her dedication to ecology is evident in initiatives like Art Speaks Out, launched during COP21 in Paris in 2015. This program encourages artists, especially in video, to create impactful works that address the climate crisis, with over a million viewers engaging with the initiative. By presenting environmental issues in creative and emotionally resonant ways, Art Speaks Out demonstrates the potential of art to deepen public engagement with climate concerns.
