Exhibition : Regenerative Futures

Faced with the greatest challenge facing us today - that of preserving the earth's habitability for future generations - how are creators - artists and designers - engaging in reflection and practices that are capable of reinventing our ways of being in the world? In dialogue with the sciences, crafts, technologies and various forms of intelligence - manual, collective, animal, bacterial, artificial, etc. - they have done a great deal of research and found solutions. However, these solutions have often not been seen, listened to, shared or proposed on the larger, industrial, planetary and urgent scale called for by the crisis and ecological disaster we are experiencing.

Designed to mark the 10th anniversary of the Thalie Foundation, this exhibition is the result of the Créateurs Urgence Climat programme, which has been running for four years. The aim of the programme is to bring together creators and experts from different disciplines, in an exhibition and a programme of meetings, in order to pool and put into perspective - in work(s) - this transformative research. In dialogue with works from its collection, the Foundation is opening itself up to an experimental and forward-looking approach, at the crossroads of art, design and ecology. Each of the rooms in the exhibition - a space that is both intimate and conducive to time and encounters - is organised around a specific theme, and a series of specific questions: in the face of the climate crisis, what solutions are designers proposing?
