In the context of the NaturArchy exhibition, and as part of its public engagement programme, the Le Biais Vert collective presented Nos Futurs Radio. Joining forces with Radio Campus, broadcasts took place throughout June and July 2024 on Saturday afternoons, giving voice to artists, collectives, associations, activists, and all people located in Belgium who concretely work to rethink ways of inhabiting the city and the world and believe that we can rebuild relationships with living things without harming them.

You can find information about these broadcasts on the dedicated page of our website as well as on iMAL's website.

Recordings will be accessible on the JRC SciArt Media Archive as they become available.

A wealth of art + science projects are addressing topics of environmental importance. The cutting-edge ideas and experiments from the field hold great potential for transforming policy - but how does the message get across?

Prof Ingeborg Reichle moderates this panel organised by JRC SciArt as part of the Leonardo LASER Network   online, on 17/05/2024 on the recently published, "The Art + Science + Policy Nexus", written by artist and researcher Dr Kat Austen.

The exhibition is being co-curated by JRC SciArt, Claudia Schnugg and Ingeborg Reichle as external curators, and iMAL.

A JRC Publication concerning synergies and potential trade-offs in combating climate change and biodiversity loss, as well as the relevant EU policies and projects, of relevance to the concept of NaturArchy and grounding its artistic and epistemological roots within EU research and policy.  

JRC SciArt organises the first in a series of talks as part of the Leonardo LASER Network on 23/02/2024. The talk will weave through the intricacies of the current situation as to the Rights of Nature, from an artistic, philosophical and governance point of view, within the context of the current NaturArchy curatorial theme and upcoming exhibition.
