Symposium: EcoFutures: Planetary Thinking and Infrastructures

Curated by Jessica Wan (TrAIN) and Angel Leung (Videotage), the programme – through a series of panel discussions, performance-lectures and workshops – will explore how artistic research can reveal, intervene in, and reimagine an equitable planetary future.

The symposium approaches ecology and planetary thinking as intersecting lenses: ecology invites us to consider the relationships between living organisms and their environments, rethinking ‘home’ beyond buildings to include our reciprocal ties with the world around us while planetary thinking situates these questions within a critical, interdisciplinary framework, attending to Earth as an interconnected system and highlighting the entanglements of local and transnational, past and present, human and nonhuman.

Co-presented by Videotage and UAL’s Research Centre for Transnational Art, Identity and Nation (TrAIN), and supported by Afterall and Hong Kong Arts Development Council.
