The talk will reflect on ways of (thinking/caring/moving/fighting/feeling/imagining…) together. It will address our ability to invent forms of collective engagement and debate on complex socio-environmental issues. Conversations will be triggered by the artistic practices and public programs carried out by the artist and professor Cláudio Bueno, working collectively with social, ecological, and land-based movements, cultural and educational institutions, networks, territories, platforms, and groups.

Cláudio Bueno is an artist and curator from Sao Paulo, Brazil. He is an Assistant Professor in Social Design at the UCSC Art Department, teaching at the Environmental Art and Social Practice MFA. Bueno is also an affiliated professor of Visualizing Abolition Studies. He has engaged in several collaborative practices committed to social and environmental justice, featuring in many international exhibitions, artistic residencies, awards, and talks.
