COALITION, 15 years of art and ecology
To celebrate its 15th anniversary, COAL is joining forces with the Gaîté Lyrique to present a major multidisciplinary exhibition featuring…
Towards an international river…
We are delighted to be a partner in the project “Vers une internationale des rivières et autres éléments de la nature…” launched by the Institut d’études avancées de Nantes and Lieu Unique, based on a proposal by Camille de Toledo, for the next three years, 2023-2026

Camille de Toledo, writer and research associate at the Institut d’études avancées (2023-2026 term), continues his work on the rights of nature and the legal personalization of ecosystems. Vers une internationale des rivières… is a collective narrative that will be punctuated by three highlights over three years. Through public hearings, the aim is to define the contours of a transition to a “terrestrial political economy”, based on the hypothesis of an extension of nature’s rights into the 21st century.
The first highlight will focus on a question that has long been sidelined: how does nature work?

“We live in a time of Earth manifestations… Working the soil, working the rivers, working the animals at various stages of history, working photosynthesis to produce the air we breathe, working the subsoil that has served as the basis of our fossil fuel economies…
Today, the productive forces of animals, plants and minerals are gradually emerging from invisibility. And we have to ask ourselves: what would an economy look like where human workers fought alongside non-human workers? What kind of world could emerge from a common struggle to redefine the working conditions of natural entities?
At a time when, on every continent, citizens are mobilizing to recognize the legal personality of nature’s entities, this citizens’ project will look for ways to reorganize work and value, to redirect them towards life.”
– Camille de Toledo, June 2023
