In the exhibition “A collective journey to climate justice: learning together, acting together”, complex relationships between historical, social and economic causes of the injustices that have developed and are closely linked to ecological developments will be made visible and tangible through contemporary artistic practices. Themes such as criticism of the hierarchical relationship between humans and nature; ecofeminism*; ongoing colonial exploitation of humans, plants, animals and other planetary beings will be incorporated as well as indigenous knowledge from communities of “Abya Yala” (pre-colonial name for America). Time here is related to the cycles of nature and the heritage of the ancestors, breaking with the linearity of our understanding of time.

Given the size of the subject area, collaborative methods will be used in particular, focusing on the transfer and exchange of knowledge in the sense of collective learning with all senses, as well as developing and sharing strategies for action. The exhibition aims to use methods of art, artistic-creative learning and activism to generate and mobilize a diverse audience and thus establish a connection between the loss of biodiversity and social injustice.
