How to think with others?
Cohabitation, with all its conveniences and accompanied by all its struggles, has for centuries been the main purpose of the construction of cities. The very act of construction yet implies separation, the set up of differences and demarcations, it implies making differences visible, not allowing others in. How to re-imagine a polyphony of approaches to the climatic crisis?

Lucia Pietroiusti is Head of Ecologies at Serpentine, London. As a curator, programmer and organisational strategist, she works at the intersection of art, ecology and systems, often outside of the exhibition space. Ecologies at Serpentine is a holistic, integrated and adaptive initiative and department aimed at embedding environmental responsibility throughout Serpentine’s infrastructure, operations, networks and programming. It evolved out of the General Ecology project, which Pietroiusti founded at Serpentine in 2018 and which features research, commissions, programming, radio and long-term, networked initiatives. Having focused her research on ecology in art and culture for the last decade, Pietroiusti was the curator of the Golden Lion-winning opera-performance, Sun & Sea by Rugile Barzdziukaite, Vaiva Grainyte and Lina Lapelyte, the Lithuanian Pavilion at the 58th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia.
