Digital seminar - Solastalgia

MAY 22nd, 12:00–14:00 CET

DIGITAL SEMINAR (in English)

SOLASTALGIA: ENVIRONMENTAL EMOTIONS AND ARTISTIC PRACTICE IN RESPONSE TO LANDSCAPE TRANSFORMATIONS

“The homesickness you have when you’re still at home”, is how the philosopher Glenn Albrecht describes the feeling of observing our local environment change in disturbing ways, introducing the term Solastalgia.

How can the term serve as a starting point t discuss the balance between facts and feelings in our reflections and actions on our changing landscapes, climate and environment?

The digital seminar unfolds the term Solastalgia by introducing artistic, philosophical and field work approaches connected to the theme. The seminar is open to everyone, consists of shorter presentations, conversations and will also open for questions and comments from the audience.
