Transart Institute - Anthologies Assembly - Solastalgia

10:30-11:30, John Lennon Art and Design Building, LJMU, Exhibition Research Lab

This artist talk will discuss and present Anne Sophie Lorange’s artistic research focusing on solastalgia, nostalgia and identity connected to our environment and the ongoing climate crisis.

Solastalgia is a new word for climate homesickness coined by philosopher Glenn Albrecht in 2005. The concept gives meaning to the distress felt by ongoing environmental changes. She will discuss a sense of homesickness while still at home due to the ongoing climate crisis through various paintings, drawings and outdoor installations. How is one's lived experience of environmental change effecting us, inner and outer landscapes, and can we still find hope for the future?
