LUCA - Luxembourg Center for Architecture has announced that it is organising an English-language lecture, within the framework of the exhibition "Luxembourg in Transition", on its premises in Luxembourg-Grund (1 Rue de la Tour Jacob) on Thursday 6 July 2023 at 18:30.
This free lecture, called "On the Ecological Struggle: The Role of Affects, Art and Aesthetics", will see Danish sociologist Nikolaj Schultz (PhD Fellow, Department of Sociology at the University of Copenhagen) address questions such as: why are we constantly bombarded with information about the unfolding climatic catastrophe, but ecological mobilisation is limited? How come so many agree that climate change is the most relevant problem of our times, but Green parties around Europe all struggle to get over the electoral threshold?
In his presentation, Nikolaj Schultz will suggest that ecologists have failed to engage seriously in the cultural struggle for ideas- a struggle that one cannot neglect when trying to accumulate political affects and mobilise people for action.
Those interested in attending this lecture can register for free via the online form here.
Note that the "Luxembourg in Transition" exhibition (part of an international consultation looking at ways to achieve decarbonisation) at LUCA will be open to the public from 1 July to 7 October 2023. Entry is free.
