Neues Bewusstsein für Transformation – New Planetary Narratives

With artist Ishita Chakraborty, urban gardening pioneer, chef, and artist Maurice Maggi, and philosopher and professor Federico Luisetti

Moderated by Tasnim Baghdadi, co-leader of Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, and Martina Huber, WE ARE AIA

Maurice Maggi breaks from within to transform the existing whole. In his fascinating anecdotes from 40 years as a «flowergraffiti-artist-activist» in Zurich, we experience his transformative work up close. Similarly, Ishita‘s artistic practice reveals the migration of plants and confronts us with our colonial past. Federico Luisetti invites an open dialogue to develop visions for possible futures. He addresses the emerging wave of indigenous politics, the rights of nature, and social movements interacting with rocks, rivers, glaciers, and lakes, thereby shedding light on an ecology of non-life.
