EARTHBOUND 2025

Soil & water – the sensuous fundaments for life

EARTHBOUND 2025 er et interdisciplinært symposium, som sammenvæver kunst og videnskab for at skabe nye forestillinger om, hvordan vi som mennesker relaterer til verden. Dette års tema – jord og vand – inviterer deltagerne til at reflektere over vores sanselige relation med elementerne og undersøge feministisk viden i lyset af klimaets nødstilstand.

Som et opbrud med de traditionelle symposie-formater, er EARTHBOUND centreret omkring vidensdeling og samskabelse i ét længerevarende event, som engagerer både intellektet og sanserne.

Programmet består af hovedtalere, workshops, debatter, performanceuddrag, ritualer og delesessioner. Symposiet afholdes på Engelsk.
