Ecological restoration: In whose image?

There is a growing consensus that large parts of Europe need to be ecologically restored to deal with climate stresses and avoid the collapse of biodiversity. With new sciences reshaping how we understand ecosystems, new visions are emerging of what a post ecological-restoration Europe might look like. Far from being neutral, these spatial propositions need to be analysed complemented and, in some cases, resisted. Stefan Laxness will present how his creative practice navigates between territory, the built environment, and the individual to explore the consequences of current and future land system changes in Europe.
