Imagine Earth
Imagine Earth is a two-day conference held at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art 8-9 June. The conference will gather internationally prominent researchers, artists and young researchers related to the field of environmental humanities.
The purpose of Imagine Earth is to provide a forum for reflections on the urgent task of developing an aesthetics of the age commonly but also contestedly designated the Anthropocene, focusing in particular on imagining and imaging the earth, its processes and transformations in non-dominant ways. See program below.
The outcome of the conference will be published in an anthology. Lectures and performances will be recorded to be publicised on Louisianas website.
