SPECIAL EVENING – CLIMATE CHANGES, CROSSING GLANCES OF ART AND SCIENCE

Climate changes, crossing glances of art and science

Beginning of December, the international conference on the climate COP21 will be held in Paris. The FDDM takes the opportunity of this particular moment in the climate agenda to organize an evening of reflection and exchanges with exciting speakers.
SMArt programme wants to raise awareness on the challenges of  mountains through art. But can art really be a stimulus for the community? Mathieu Menghini brings us some answers. Alejandro León Cannock shows us through his artwork the evolution of the glacier landscape under the pressure of a rapid climate change. Behind this creative and subjective work are scientific facts that reminds Martin Beniston. Switzerland is committed worldwide to ensure a future of quality for people living in mountain regions, Dominique Favre will show us how, concretely, art and science underlie this action.
