On 7 November, the Nieuwe Opdrachtgevers is organising the seminar ‘30 Million Years: Art, Ecology and Sustainability’ at M HKA in Antwerp.
How can art help communities and citizens get a better understanding of ecology and sustainability? How do art production sites change their material and conceptual patterns and habits to meet the challenges of sustainability? How can a contemporary artwork, invited by people to be part of their community, remain meaningful and increase its durability?
During the seminar ‘30 Million Years: Art, Ecology and Sustainability’, these questions will not only be addressed discursively but also practically. Art professionals, artists, academics, students, government agencies and people from all walks of life are invited to participate in this discussion.
The seminar will be held in english.
It features keynote lectures by Nathalie Blanc, Pascal Gielen, Roel Arkesteijn and Nicola Setari.
