AT THE NEXUS OF ECOLOGICAL GRIEF, ARTISTIC RESEARCH, AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
Presenting a diverse program of online and in person presentations, performances, film screenings and discussions, from artistic practices in multiple global locations including South Africa, India, Aotearoa (NZ), and Switzerland, this symposium proposes thinking about artistic research as entangled within place and politics through the ongoing climate crisis. The program will be based online and between the HSLU Design and Kunst campus, the gallery Exhibition Lab in Kriens, and the urban garden space and research project on campus, Orto 745. A central focus will be questions and responses to how we continue to exist and belong in the world with the deep existential threat of catastrophic climate change, and how we move forward with systemic change in mind, growing roots to place and centring the voices of those historically excluded from imagining the future.
