Récits et imaginaires croisés des socioécosystèmes (Crossed narratives and imaginaries of socio-ecosystems)
“Crossed narratives and imaginaries of socio-ecosystems” is a participatory and transdisciplinary art and science research project coordinated and co-led by TranSborder platform and Zone Atelier Brest Iroise – INEE / CNRS. The research applies methodologies of “participatory science” in its aim to explore possible common cultural ecology practices which will be capable of dealing with transitions and transformations the world is going through in the context of climate crisis sensitively, but also concertedly. The topics of interest include the preservation of biodiversity and integration of species (humans and non-humans) in the future and their coexistence in specific environments and territories. To address these challenges, the research is taking place at the Rade de Brest and the islands of the Iroise Sea, includes several different stakeholders (scientists in marine and environmental sciences, managers, artists and local residents) and develops a series of experimental, transdisciplinary activities in order to create bridges and establish a dialogue between art, science and society: sensitive mapping and modelling, workshops and consultations, land-based residences, exhibitions and installations, seminars, workshops and conferences.
