Climate Change Pavilion

Venice Climate Change Pavilion (
Philanthropic organization

#OceanAction46172
    Description
    Intro

    The idea of a diffused Pavilion, that collects stories and data from local scales to then bridging it on a global scale, relies on the urgency of new narratives to accelerate the process of adaptation and mitigation towards the climate and biodiversity crisis: we are all connected by water ecologies, the ecological problems are a shared path that involves us all as citizen and human beings. 

    To make a paradigm shift, it is needed to wave and create narratives where we can feel and experience the knowledge that we hold. We can interpret and understand our being in the world as citizen and as human being by analyzing a single sample of water collected in different part of the sea, and approach it like a poem: de-layering and de-territorialize (Deleuze,Guattari) data makes a new cartography and new geographies possible.
    The sea is a key of interpretation that holds up the major challenges of the future: rising sea level, rising global temperature, CO2 cycle of absorption, microplastics pollution, biodiversity loss, acidification of Ph, alteration of specimens (alien species).
    The project aims to translate the data that are gonna be collected during the journey across different bodies of water to by making them experienceable, embodied for a wider public. By making them accessible, and creating new narratives, the pavilion aims to explore horizontal ways of data physicalization for public engagement, in order to operate a cultural and spatial regeneration.

    Description

    Venice Climate Change Pavilion is a project at the intersection of art and science, ecology and research. 

    It is a urban diffused pavilion that shows climate change data in the Venice Lagoon //Uses Ephemeral Practices and Transdisciplinary Ecologies for Ocean&Lagoon Literacy //Weathering ArtScience for the amphibian future, connecting citizens and research embodying knowledge in a transdisciplinary way.

    The goal of the project is to be an innovative tool to raise awareness about climate change emergencies in frale ecosystems such as the Venetian Lagoon. Since data (environmental,social,scientific..) are the new layer of our cities,they are a fundamental matter to work with, that brings awareness of the place we live in. When we sense that we belong to a place, we commit to its beauty, to its better future. The project is born to raise awareness, because from awareness comes the sense of belonging,and from this starts the change towards a future where the saveguard of beauty is linked to a healthy environment, non-polluting cities and carbon zero emissions.

    Additional information

    The project started in May 2021, Awarded as part of EU Maritime Forum YOUTH4OCEAN “Arts and Culture relating to the Ocean Literacy” EU4Ocean Award 2022, VCCP raised as a spontaneous answer to the theme of Venice’s Architecture Biennale 2021 How will we live together?, beginning from the awareness of the hidden climate data we live within and an analysis of the Critical Zones and the fragile ecosystems of the Venetian Lagoon. The Pavilion
    is actively involved and flag bearer in knowledge sharing and SDG 13 and 14 as part of UN SDG, in order to actively leave a positive impact/trace on a cultural, ecological and urban level.
