Future Climates

Josephine Berry and Jonas Staal


John Kenneth Paranada and Robert Zhao Renhui

Future Climates is a symposium that brings together an international array of artists, writers and curators who directly respond to the climate emergency. The talks attempt to move beyond established forms of activism and ask how artists and cultural practitioners might envision alternative pathways, propose new models and make real-world differences. By focusing on the unique position artists play, these talks aim to test and probe the question of how that change might be manifested.

Over the duration of the series speakers include: Lise Autogena, Fiona Banner, Ajay Singh Chaudary, Maja and Reuben Fowkes, Jay Jordan, Amal Khalaf, Maggie Murray, Alona Pardo, John Kenneth Pranada, Filipa Ramos, Oliver Ressler, Jonas Staal, Robert Zaho Renhui.

Talks devised by Art Monthly’s Chris McCormack and Newcastle University’s Uta Kögelsberger.
