16Culture and Sustainability: Visions of the Future(s)

This workshop explores culture in relation to sustainability. Literature, film, and art portray visions of the future(s) and help us re-imagine the world. They also touch the core of ethical decision-making and ask questions of human flourishing (das Erblühen menschlichen Lebens). Through the lens of the Environmental Humanities, a trans-disciplinary approach, we will examine the relevance of cultural productions for discussions of human-nature interaction. Then, we will lead a collaborative poetry-making exercise: participants will compose centos, recycled poems, and imagine new ecological futures firsthand.

«Vom Nachhaltigkeitstag 2021 erwarte ich mir Dialoge, welche die Studierenden ermächtigen, sich für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung in ihrem Sinne einzusetzen. Um die Anliegen der Studierenden weiterzutragen, braucht es eine kritische Reflexion innerhalb der Berner Hochschulen und gemeinsame Handlungsräume.»
