As the theme of climate emergency enters (at last!) the mainstream, and we start adapting to the stark reality of a warming and rapidly changing planet, transformations spread further than our ecosystems, infiltrating the ways we tell and represent the world, our stories and storytelling, as well as how we make art.
In this unique session, an art curator specialised in ecologic themes and a groundbreaking artist and writer discuss the way in which creative languages are being rethought to face the trauma of a declining planet.

This event will be in English and partly in Italian with English translation provided.

Running time: 80 minutes.
