The University of Vigo is currently accepting expressions of interest by artists for participation to the Science, Technology and Innovation beyond Growth joint conference of the International Degrowth Research Networks and the European Society for Ecological Economics in Pontevedra (Spain) between June 18th and 21th, 2024. More information online.
The conference seeks to scope out the possibilities of Science, Technology and Innovation beyond the pursuit of economic growth and build new bridges between scholars and artists who explore the ways in which power and politics shape science and technology, and vice versa.
Artists are invited to apply with practice-based reflections and artworks which engage with the goals and messages of degrowth and ecological economics. Responding, for example, to technologies and the personhood of nature, care, hope, interdependence, more than human perspectives, energy, extractivism or waste. A full list of topics is found online, see particularly Track 3: Imagining post-growth Science, Technology and Innovation futures.
