Future Talk: Climate X Change. Are We All Compost?
The interdisciplinary series Future Talks: Climate X Change (Link) is dedicated to topics relevant to the climate crisis.
The Belly Knows Before the Brain proposes a change of perspective on digestion and metabolism: from a purely human bodily function towards an ecological practice in which multiple species participate. But how can a planetary metabolism be imagined?
The exhibition responds to ecological crises that disrupt the metabolic flows of our planet, such as soil degradation, weakened nutrient cycles, or the over-exploitation of finite resources. It addresses societal attitudes and emotional relationships to compost and decay, which are often marked by discomfort and alienation. However, decay is not a threat—it is a natural part of life and a fertile ground for new beginnings.
As a place of lively debate, KunstHausWien offers a forum for the fields of art, science, and activism and invites discussion.The audience is invited to contribute on the spot or to ask questions in advance, which will then be incorporated into the discussion.
