ENVIRONMENTALISMS: IMAGINING THE IMPOSSIBLE
From 8 to 17 March 2023
We are facing a deep socio-environmental crisis, we are immersed in climate and eco-systemic scenarios that require radical action in the economic, political, social or cultural fields. Natural disasters, the climate emergency, the energy crisis, the loss of biodiversity, the scarcity of the planet’s resources and the unlimited growth policies, added to the social and economic crises that cause insecurity, inequality and uncertainty, can paralyse us in one of the deepest strengths that we have as a society: working collectively and with co-responsibility in order to open paths towards essential social transformation. In the Balearic Islands, the almost exclusive dependence on the tourism sector has led not only to serious environmental impacts, but also to social, economic and political ones, which are leading towards collapse.
With this module we aim to analyse how, through theory and practice, activism and cultural production, different proposals, approaches and collective mobilisations are developed that can generate alternatives and contribute to a socio-environmental transformation that places life at the centre.
