Tuesday Discussion with Caroline Jacobi: “Photography Artistic Landscapes in the Anthropocene: Latin America in Focus”

This Tuesday, Caroline Jacobi, an RCC visiting scholar fromthe Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, will join us for the Tuesday Discussion to talk about the work she has conducted for and around her thesis. 

In light of contemporary environmental issues and social conflicts in Latin American territories, what potential does experimental artistic photography hold for constructing critical and counterhegemonic landscapes that foster ecology and a multiplicity of existences and cosmologies? This research analyzes the work of artists who use photography to investigate and create landscapes that challenge dominant perspectives, incorporating overlays that feature elements of the territory and aspects not easily visible to the camera. It reflects photography’s potential as a means of attentive engagement and fictionalization that can contribute to addressing environmental issues and diverse modes of existence (Stengers, Isabelle. 2018.Another Science is Possible: A Manifesto for Slow Science. Polity Press.).

The Tuesday Discussions are free and open to the public. The event will be conducted in English.
