Transdisciplinary Cultures of Collaboration
Andrew Newman (AU/AT), Audrey-Flore Ngomsik (FR/BE), Kat Austen (GB/DE), Mairéad Hurley (IE), Andres Colmenares (CO/ES)
A sustainable future requires integrative, interdisciplinary and intersectoral approaches to engage with the complex interdependencies of human, non-human and more-than-human systems. Can a STEAM approach to education, one that emphasises the value of art in fostering creative and critical thinking, ensure that we have the necessary skills to face this challenge?
Urgent Crises, Slow Solutions: A Conversation about the Open Movement, Craft Technologies and a Sustainable Internet
Babitha George (IN), Camila Nobrega (BR/DE), Luis Felipe Rosado Murillo (BR), Shannon Dosemagen (US), Persephone Lewis (US)
What potentials do open practices, craft, and community knowledge have, to imagine different climate futures? How can the open movement with its values, communities and action support the creation of these futures? And how do we actively build a sustainable and just Internet for all? Though the current crises are urgent, we acknowledge the solutions may be slow.

Can museums inspire action on planetary crises, and can museal institutions be reimagined for a more diverse, intersectional publics?

Photosynthetic You
Vanessa V(ozzo) (IT)
Workshop: Photosynthetic You explores fundamental ethical questions related to the renewed debate on genetics, reaching as far as the hypothesis of being able to exchange our human genes with those of other species using innovative systems such as CRISPR/Cas. What if we can all decide, paradoxically and in an extreme, mass democratic act, to become thin and motionless like leaves, energetically self-sufficient like plants, feeding only on light and solar power?
