Climate Change: Indigenous Perspectives and Artistic Utopias

Subject area: Humanities
Learning outcomes: The Summer School, which will last for 5 days, will be taught in English language. It awards 3 University educational credits (CFU) and has as its learning outcome to explore pressing issues related to climate change and the role of artists in proposing new social and economic dynamics that can have social and economic effects. Through an interdisciplinary approach involving professors from usually distant academic fields such as art history, economics and biology, a speculative approach will be developed, aimed at understanding the dramatic environmental condition that has taken shape with the emergence of the Anthropocene. In particular, the educational project moves from a reconsideration of cultural practices as a driver of social processes based on forms of public engagement, aimed at developing scenarios of futuristic societies that are at least as desirable as they are practicable.
