From the Molior website:

Molior is organizing a day of conferences and exchanges at the Biosphère | Espace pour la vie on Thursday, May 9, 2024. The event is free and open to the public. It is produced in collaboration with Espace pour la vie and Concordia University Research Chair in Critical Practices in Materials and Materiality.

Taking the transformative power of art and design as a point of departure, this one-day symposium highlights the field’s contribution to interconnected ecological and social challenges. The discussions will examine how artistic practices can reveal complex nuances of contemporary issues, imagine alternative futures, in addition to catalyzing the emergence of knowledge and know-how. Through presentations, roundtables, demos and exchanges with the public, this event will explore these topics at different scales and from a variety of angles, ranging from systemic dynamics to the individual approaches of artists and exhibition.

This event is part of a series of symposia that Molior organizes throughout the year with partners from various fields outside the arts. This approach aims to foster interdisciplinary encounters between the speakers and among the public.

Free & open to the public.
