An Archipelago of Ecological Care: The ‘Reclamation’ of the Island of Sant’Andrea

crossmark logo

Abstract

This lesson explains how contemporary artistic and curatorial practices can effectively contribute to so-called ‘ecologies of care’, protecting the dignity of life and human rights along with the rights of nature, and encouraging critical thinking, emotional involvement, ethical responsibility, and public imagination for the well-being of the Earth. The Venice lagoon, with its islands and natural/cultural ecosystem, is taken as a case-study – in particular, the island and fort of Sant’Andrea.
