Old Models, New praxis – A curatorial approach in times of ecological emergency
Join us for a curator’s talk and discussion with international visiting curator Blanca de la Torre who discusses her research and art interests as appointed Head Curator of the Helsinki Biennial 2025 with Kati Kivinen (Head of exhibitions at HAM Museum, Helsinki), that focuses on ecology, collective action, environmental empowerment sustainable practices.
For this talk Blanca de la Torre explores curating in times of climate emergency – an approach that implies developing projects that are ecological in content, form, and attitude. By embracing artistic practices that are aligned with the sustainability discourses, we will hear more about potential ways to stimulate collective action, and a re-think of cultural processes that can encourage environmental empowerment. de la Torre will introduce some her most innovative methodologies, among them, a series of guidelines and sustainability decalogues created to apply socioecological practices throughout the life cycle of the projects.
This talk is presented at part of the initiative IRELAND INVITES organised by IMMA, Hugh Lane Gallery and Culture Ireland
