COAL’s Sustainable Culture Lab
In order to experiment and put into practice a cultural approach to the transformation of territories for the ecological transition and adaptation to climate change, COAL is deploying the Sustainable Culture Laboratory, a collaborative program between the humanities, natural sciences and the arts. After a first year of action research on soils, the LAB is impelling in 2016-2017 “The table and the territory”, the second session of the LAB around sustainable food.
LAB aims to grow a culture of resilience to bring about and embody alternative artistic, scientific and political narratives of Earth transformation. More specifically, it aims to incorporate strategies for adapting to ecological changes linked to climate change into local practices. The LAB’s first mission is to explore crucial sustainability issues through the convergence of disciplines by im- agining collaborative work. To do this, it was conceived as a tool to question and share the conditions of construction of knowledge, both aesthetic, academic and technical, through experiments conducted by artists and scientists of nature and the humanities on innovation fields. Together, they carry out research-actions and design common productions: exhibitions, workshops, meetings, publications and trainings intended to nourish a political and collective dynamic on the scale of the territories.
