Panel discussion, Sunday 29th September, 17h-18h CET:
Title: After NaturArchy: what Art and what Rights for Nature?
Speakers:
- Adriaan Eeckels (JRC SciArt Project Leader)
- Ingeborg Reichle (Curator, one of the NaturArchy curators)
- Caterina Benincasa (JRC SciArt Project Curator, one of the NaturArchy curators)
Abstract: Starting from a discussion on the achievements of the NaturArchy exhibition and process of curating 15 artists within the framework of SciArt’s Resonances cycle, this panel wants to open up conversation between the team behind NaturArchy and the audience. Pose your questions and reflections, be they regarding the status of the rights of nature and how art and curation can contribute to this urgently needed and still growing shift. Or how artists experience the process of working at science for policy level, or how local communities can become further involved in museums settings, we look forward to expanding thoughts and inputs around the whole process of NaturArchy.
Format: In-person, by the Nos Futurs Radio installation, iMAL entry hall - open to all.
