Summer Lab Imagine 2020 in Ljubljana
Published on 30 August 2016
First Summer Lab – Toxic Tour of the Imagine2020 network in Ljubljana. Photo report from our special envoy Yesenia Thibault Picazo who contributed to the program as a resident artist of our Laboratory of Sustainable Culture.
On the program, 30 European artists gathered in Ljubljana for a unique session of exchange and experience around ecological issues.
The participants of the Summer Lab – Toxic Tour go on a three-day excursion starting with the botanical gardens, and venture into the Ljubljana wetlands and the Planina caves. They will focus on the changing interrelationships and co-relationships imposed by increasing pollution on the fragile balance of the Ljubljana Marsh ecosystem, by observing and giving voice to those non-human city dwellers whose language we can only imagine – water (rivers, springs), plants (invasive and native species), animals (birds, frogs, wild boars, mosquitoes), and entities such as geological periods, microclimate and location-specific geography.
