Beyond Green: Speculating (G)local Sustainability

Full programme and speakers COMING SOON!

Crafts and traditional knowledge of mindful consumption of natural resources are one of the possible starting points for (re)questioning paths and directions of envisioning contemporary sustainable production processes. Understanding of new technologies, materials and systems is as important as the knowledge of what is inherited on a local scale. Traditional, old, and endangered practices are a subject of heritage institution, that collect and document, but rarely place, them for interpretation outside of the set parameters of historical valorization. Can this knowledge be used for crafting an optimistic future? How and why do we imagine the tomorrow, and do we?

Single-day conference Natural Resources and Sustainability brings together professionals from filed of heritage, science, design, production, policy, and arts with a goal of defining what the contemporary meaning of resources and sustainability is, and how the respective fields can intersect, and not only ask questions but provide solutions for challenges of mindful consumption.
Working in two parallel sessions and one joint MADE IN meet-up, speakers will be asked to give their vision of equal optimistic future.
