Museums at the Ecological Turn – Book Presentation 2025

In recent years, the intersection between ecological thought and contemporary art has sparked a generative reflection encompassing sustainability, conservation, and survivability. Confronted with the climate catastrophe, ecology questions the feasibility of conserving collapsing ecosystems as well as our imperative of survival, alongside other humans, and non-humans, amidst the ruins of a world we have already irreversibly altered. Engaging with the researches and perspectives of curators, philosophers and activists, artists and writers, Museums at the Ecological Turn, a conference and a book co-published by AMACI – Association of Italian Contemporary Art Museum and NERO, reflects on the role of museums and how they must embrace new forms of responsibility and awareness.

Mediator: Lorenzo Balbi (President AMACI – Association of Italian Contemporary Art Museum)

Speakers: Caterina Riva (Director of MACTE Museum), Daphne Vitali (Curator at National Museum of Contemporary Art, Athens)
