Residency | EcoArtLab mLAB HELVETAS Ballenberg:
«Dialogue as a means to understanding and empathy»
Final presentation of the EcoArtLab residency at the Ballenberg Open-Air Museum:
How does climate change connect the Gangetic Delta with the Swiss Alps?
The interdisciplinary team of Terravibe from the fields of art and science will present the results of their six-month residency at the EcoArtLab.
On September 7, the residency guests Alisha Dutt Islam, Nora Gailer and Christa Hermann will introduce visitors at the Ballenberg Open-Air Museum to their installation at the Matten residence. For six months, they have been exploring how they can relate the Swiss Alps, threatened by glacial melting and drought, to the Gangetic Delta, which is repeatedly hit by tropical cyclones and floods. Using an artistic approach, they now show visitors how climate change manifests itself in the two regions. A short film adds local perspectives to the installation, while personal conversations with the residents provide insights into the background of the works and their research.
