«Environmentalism with Chinese Characteristics»
«Chinese President Xi Jinping’s pledge that the world’s second-largest economy will achieve carbon neutrality by 2060 has elicited extreme reactions. Admirers applaud China for making yet another bold move in the direction of “ecological civilization,” a term that has been enshrined in the country’s constitution. Critics cast doubt on whether China will fulfill the pledge, especially noting the checkered track record of its environmental promises.
Yet, amid this discordant cacophony of high-minded propaganda and hyped-up accusations, it is important to stress that, when it comes to the environment, the common ground between China and the rest of the world is vast and shared goals are many. Just as the future of global environmentalism hinges on the path that China will take in the coming decades, the prosperity of China rests on the extent to which the global community can mitigate the climate crisis.

UMBIGO MAGAZINE | «Dossiê Ecologia Self»
«Para esta edição a Umbigo convidou a curadora Alice Bonnot a criar um conceito para o dossier central da revista. Para Ecological Self, Bonnot selecionou cinco artistas, provenientes de diferentes geografias (Matthew Verdon, Ouazzani Carrier, Las Nietas de Nonó, Zadie Xa e Alice Bucknell), que no através do seu trabalho falam de questões como as relações entre o homem e a natureza, problemas relacionados com a raça, violência, classe social, género e alterações climáticas, a forma como diferentes culturas dão forma a identidades e diferentes noções do eu ou sobre as utopias tecnológicas e o papel da arquitetura na desigualdade global e destruição ecológica.
A par com o dossier teremos três entrevistas e um artigos com quatro artistas que exploram estas temáticas no seu corpo de trabalho, como a britânica Hannah Rowan (que também faz o Art Project), o sul-coreano Young Suh, o canadiano Terence Koh e a portuguesa Gabriela Albergaria.
Para o Art Project, Hannah Rowan criou o ensaio fotográfico Melting Bodies of a Planetary Archive resultado da sua experiência na The Arctic Circle Residency, no arquipélago de Svalbard na Noruega, em 2019. O projeto resulta da observação das mudanças no gelo e da perceção das inúmeras formas que este assume antes de desaparecer. Segundo a artista “Este lugar está literalmente a desaparecer diante dos nossos olhos. Svalbard está no epicentro do aquecimento global, aquecendo quatro vezes mais rapidamente do que a média global”».
