«Accumulation»

 


«The consequences of excessive growth are becoming ever more visible – and awareness of it is constantly increasing. Yet progress, prosperity and social status continue to be equated with the accumulation of material goods. Accumulation invites visitors to engage with the challenges of and alternatives to excess.
Over-consumption intensifies the climate crisis, deepens social inequalities and stabilises (neo-)colonial power relations. But what is the way out? What would the transition from a growth-oriented to a common-good-oriented society look like? The artists in this exhibition respond in different ways to this challenge: some address the issues directly, while others develop methodologies and strategies to counteract the logic of material accumulation.

Morreu Sebastião Salgado

 


“Este livro é dedicado aos povos indígenas da região amazónica do Brasil. É uma celebração da sobrevivência das suas culturas, costumes e línguas.

É também uma homenagem ao seu papel como guardiães da beleza, dos recursos naturais e da biodiversidade da maior floresta tropical do planeta contra o ataque implacável do mundo exterior.

PATRICK HUNTJENS | «Towards a Natural Social Contract»

 

Veja aqui


«This open access book is a 2022 Nautilus Gold Medal winner in the category "World Cultures' Transformational Growth & Development". It states that the societal fault lines of our times are deeply intertwined and that they confront us with challenges affecting the security, fairness and sustainability of our societies. The author, Prof. Dr. Patrick Huntjens, argues that overcoming these existential challenges will require a fundamental shift from our current anthropocentric and economic growth-oriented approach to a more ecocentric and regenerative approach. He advocates for a Natural Social Contract that emphasizes long-term sustainability and the general welfare of both humankind and planet Earth. Achieving this crucial balance calls for an end to unlimited economic growth, overcon...».



«Oceano _ O último reduto selvagem _ de David Attenborough e Colin Butfield»

 


SINOPSE

«Tive a felicidade de viver quase cem anos. Durante este tempo, ficámos a saber mais sobre o nosso oceano do que em qualquer outro período da história humana. As ciências marinhas revelaram maravilhas naturais que um rapazinho da década de 1930 jamais teria imaginado. As novas tecnologias permitiram-nos filmar comportamentos na vida selvagem que, nos primórdios da minha carreira, só em sonhos eu imaginaria poder registar, e transformámos tão profundamente o oceano, que os próximos cem anos poderão assistir a uma extinção em massa da vida nos mares ou então a uma recuperação espetacular.
Não estarei cá para assistir ao fim da história, mas, depois de uma vida inteira a explorar o nosso planeta, continuo convencido de que, quanto mais pessoas apreciarem e compreenderem o mundo natural, maior será a nossa esperança de o salvar, bem como a nós mesmos.»
