Wildfires, floods, extreme temperatures, droughts, water scarcity: the current climate emergency challenges us to rethink the idea of progress that has brought us to this point.
In this course, we will discuss how art can raise awareness, inform, and mobilize society in the face of the environmental crisis. Through the analysis of works from the historical collection of the Museu Paulista, we will see how visual representations helped to construct and consolidate an imaginary of progress – while simultaneously highlighting processes of environmental and social degradation over time.
The classes also encourage critical reflection on the role of museums in creating new imaginaries and broadening our understanding of different ways of inhabiting the world.
The course is online and broadcast live. To obtain the certificate, students must sign the attendance sheet on both days of the course.
