Join us for a virtual talk exploring the theme of environmental care, the Earth, and all its inhabitants. "Narratives of Care: Artists' Dialogues" invites artists, researchers, and advocates from around the world to share their insights, projects, artworks, papers, and research on how art can be a catalyst for positive change in our relationship with the environment.

In a time of increasing environmental challenges, we believe that art has the power to inspire action and foster empathy towards our planet and all living beings. This virtual event seeks to amplify the voices of artists and researchers who are actively engaging with themes of care, sustainability, and ecological justice through their work.
