Science and Environmental Humanities join together in an exhibition that seeks to embrace, understand and shed light on the current environmental crisis and its social, economic, political and ethical complexities.
In the “Anthropocene Collection”, the language of art is the key to a synthesis, including an emotional one, of the complexity of the geological era in which we live.
The core of the works on display were acquired thanks to the calls for participation of PAC 2022-2023 – Piano per l’Arte Contemporanea (Plan for Contemporary Art) and of the Italian Council IX, and were selected and developed as part of the ‘We are the flood’ project – an experimental platform for expression and capacity building for artists and creative people involved in the context of ecological transformation, conceived and curated by the artist Stefano Cagol.
