ENVIRONMENTALISMS: IMAGINING THE IMPOSSIBLE
From 3 to 19 March 2022
This module aims to address issues such as the climate emergency and new international critical awareness regarding the limits of development, the emergence of new environmental movements and the possibility of environmental collapse, which is among humanity’s greatest concerns today. It also seeks to reflect on how the COVID-19 health crisis has brought the tourism sector to a standstill and, faced with this situation, multiple voices have been raised demanding (again) the redefinition of the tourism model, a new model that places the environment and people at its centre, taking into account social and climate justice criteria. The module aims to rethink knowledge generation mechanisms and structures from the cultural institution perspective, analysing artistic practices that promote new forms and dynamics capable of connecting contemporary artistic and social processes. And, from the artistic and cultural production sphere, in relation to ecological awareness, reflect on how to go beyond the ways of doing based on purely commercial processes or product exchange, to develop processes from which to share knowledge and cooperate effectively and sustainably.
