10th anniversary of the Foundation

Given the tremendous challenge facing us — namely preserving the habitability of the earth for future generations — how do creators, artists and designers, engage in thinking and in practices that reinvent our ways of existing in today’s world? In conversation with science, crafts, technologies, various forms of intelligence — manual, collective, animal, bacterial, artificial — many have searched extensively, and found solutions. However, these solutions have rarely been viewed, listened to, shared or proposed on a larger industrial, planetary and urgent scale, which the ecological crisis we are experiencing calls for.

Marking the 10th anniversary of the Fondation Thalie, this showcase originates and results from four years of its Créateurs Urgence Climat programme. Within the framework of an exhibition and an events programme, it brings together creators and experts from different disciplines, sharing and putting into perspective and into action this transformative research.
