Lecture series on environmental justice

“[...] the possibility of keeping justice alive in our time hinges on our response to the reality of a warming planet. We are going to have to become firefighters.” Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò

What happens if we center environmental justice in artistic practices that engage with the ecological crisis? What implications might this have for the ways in which we approach our research, collaborate locally or internationally, engage our audiences, and work toward impact and transformation? And, within our art academies, how could centering environmental justice influence the shaping of curricula and pedagogy?

In this lecture series, we will hear from artists, curators, educators and writers who will discuss how their focus on environmental justice shapes their artistic, curatorial, educational, and writing practices. Everyone is welcome to participate.

Climate Exchange Platform
The Climate Exchange Platform is an online platform that brings together students from various international art academies working on the topic of the ecological crisis. Through a series of annual online workshops and talks, students have the opportunity to collaborate across borders and engage in international dialogues about environmental concerns, including questions of climate justice, land restitution and reparations, and constellations of co-resistance. The Climate Exchange Platform is initiated by Planetary Poetics at the Sandberg Instituut (Amsterdam) and launched in 2024.
