Art and science towards climate action
Cmcc - Euro-Mediterranean center on climate change and Climateurope2 project
Thursday, May 25, 2023 h. 15:00-16:00
Roadshows, installations and sculptures meet data, climate models, and scenarios. Artists are more and more committed to the search for ways to convey the urgency of the climate emergency. It is a creative process that starts from science because it is from science that the climate comprehension of the climate crisis starts. How are artists and scientists working to find common ground to share knowledge and creativity?
The webinar brings together artists and scientists, as well as those working at the intersection of the two, to explore the potential for their collaboration and to reflect on how interdisciplinary approaches can yield new insights and solutions to enhance public awareness of climate change challenges.
The panel features two distinguished speakers, artist Carolina Aragon and climatologist Vladimir Djurdjevic.
Recipient of the Cmcc climate change communication Award "Rebecca Ballestra," Carolina Aragon will showcase her art installation depicting Boston's changing shorefront in response to rising sea levels. Vladimir Djurdjevic, full professor at the Faculty of physics at the University of Belgrade, will present "The climate capsule", an experimental installation of an apocalyptic scenario of the world in the year 2057 where society did not take action on climate change.
The panel is moderated by Marjana Brkic, acting director, Center for the promotion of science.
