Ecological Thresholds
University Art Seminar
2025 May, Berlin, Germany
'Amazonen in Berlin', artists Chiara Faggionato and Lina Mazenett, are invited as guests to the seminar Ecological Thresholds: Environment, Activism, and the Future of Museums at UdK Berlin, led by Brazilian curator, art mediator, and artist Viviane Tabach. During their participation, they will organize an artistic walk in the public spaces of Berlin Museum Island, visiting statues of Amazon warrior women. During the tour, they will invite students to reflect on the power dynamics embodied by these statues, while also considering the power dynamics of the spaces where they are placed.
The seminar investigates the role of art institutions at the intersection of ecological crises and cultural transformation, questioning how museums — rooted in colonial histories — can become agents of ecological justice and equitable partnership with communities historically affected by colonialism.
