    MADE IN dialogues: Beyond green: Speculating (g)local sustainability III conference, 9.12. 2024 III

    The radical, even dystopian, transformation of the natural habitat, and of the urban and social landscape are an undeniable fact. 

    Crafts and traditional knowledge of mindful consumption of natural resources are one of the possible starting points for (re)questioning paths and directions of envisioning contemporary sustainable production processes. Understanding of new technologies, materials, and systems is as important as the knowledge of what is inherited on a local scale. Traditional, old, and endangered practices are a subject of heritage institution, that collect and document, but rarely place, them for interpretation outside of the set parameters of historical valorization. Can this knowledge be used for crafting an optimistic future? How and why do we imagine tomorrow, and do we?
    Single-day conference Beyond Green: Speculating (G)local Sustainability brings together professionals from the fields of heritage, science, design, production, policy, and arts with a goal of defining what the contemporary meaning of resources and sustainability is, and how the respective fields can intersect, and not only ask questions but provide solutions for challenges of mindful consumption.
