Keynote 5: “From outside the horizon to inside the horizon”
Olafur Eliasson, Artist
If we are going to succeed in addressing climate change, we need creative solutions and positive, hopeful visions of the future. Art is engaged in making abstractions tangible, real, and relevant to our lives, turning the impossible into the possible. Through art and culture, we can conceive of alternative, inclusive, and more-than-human futures and motivate climate action.
