Human Activities is an art institute founded by artist Renzo Martens. The institute aims to prove that art about economic inequality can address inequality in real, material terms, not just symbolically. The work ranges from art and film to ecology and regenerative agriculture. Based in Amsterdam, the institute operates internationally. Together with the Congolese sister organization, le Cercle d’Art des Travailleurs de Plantation Congolaise (CATPC), an ecological, inclusive post-plantation is being developed, inspired, and financed by art.
