All that remains of the changing seasons: a lecture-performance

Lecture-performance, presented at Futurological Congress, Zurich Chapter: Futures of Care
29-30 November 2024, Löwenbräu, Zurich

When we look at animals and plants, we witness movements upon seasonal change: the dropping of leaves, the building of nests... In the face of deep transformation, our more-than-human companions know how to prepare. In this talk, Lucia Pietroiusti draws from her experience as a curator working across art and ecology, to ask questions of a world that’s ending. In a time of profound transformation, what habits of mind, what stories, what rituals, may help us hold, and weather, change? How to make space for what we may never experience? And where do art and culture fit in this landscape?
