In this moment of seemingly compounding global crises and existential concerns about the planet's future, it seems that there is no point of return. However, as Norwegian philosopher ArneNæss highlighted, this might not be true.
Delving into new ways of imagining the transitioning toward a climate-resilient future cohabitation between humans and non-human species and the redefinition of borders, distances, among and between contrasting and disparate proximities—of individuals, groups, society, species, and practices in space—will define alternatives, sometimes utopian strategies and vision to address the pressing issue of climate change.
To investigate those modalities and especially reopen the debate on the role of landscape, urbanism, and architecture, the exhibition gives voice to designers and thinkers of the future. It asks them what is the possible alternative future in which we will live and how: WHAT's NEXT?
In this online and physical exhibition, as Paola Vigano affirms, we value the role of imagination, visions, and utopians, not as a way to make fantasies but as a critical way to investigate realities.
