The night will bring on stage inquisitive presentations – including images, videos, podcasts, and reports – on the theme of “green future” to construct a vocabulary associated with the notions of restorative and regenerative design.

“It is said that Mars, after having been home to more than 7 billion inhabitants, ran into its desertification future due to bad governance and insensitivity, due to the greed of its rulers, lack of understanding of the future implications of their actions”.

The PechaKucha Night will bring on stage inquisitive presentations – including texts, images, videos, podcasts, reports, and references – that consider critically our possible future as green, red or white. The contributors, coming from fields ranging from journalism to science, philosophy, literature, design, technology, history, and politics, will elaborate in a PechaKucha format on the theme of “green future” and help construct a linguistic as well as material vocabulary associated with the notions of restorative and regenerative design.
