Taking Care: Towards an Ecology of Culture in Art, Science, and Technology.
Taking Care: Towards an Ecology of Culture in Art, Science, and Technology.

Which considerations and good practices can be implemented to take care of cultural heritage from an ecological perspective? Why and how should artistic, scientific, and technological research cooperate not only to preserve the past, but also to prepare for the challenges and the preservation of the future by guaranteeing sustainability, inclusivity, and intergenerational ethics?

If furthering ecological awareness is a common goal that requires a new symbiotic relationship between nature and culture, it is the responsibility of private and public cultural actors and institutions to work together with citizens and communities and share ecologically conscious practices.
