Description

Lucia Pietroiusti, Head of Ecologies at the Serpentine in London, discusses how cultural institutions can go beyond raising awareness about climate and actively contribute to ecological change. She shares the journey of the General Ecology project and how Serpentine has embedded environmental responsibility into its core operations — from artistic collaborations to institutional policy shifts. This episode explores the role of art in shaping culture, not just reflecting it, and reflects on the possibilities of building “nature-culture corridors” between disciplines, geographies, and communities.

ES:
Lucia Pietroiusti, directora de Ecologías en Serpentine Londres, habla sobre cómo las instituciones culturales pueden ir más allá de la concienciación ambiental para convertirse en agentes de cambio ecológico. Comparte el recorrido del proyecto de Ecología General y cómo el Serpentine ha integrado la responsabilidad ambiental en su estructura institucional — desde colaboraciones artísticas hasta cambios en las políticas internas. Este episodio explora el papel del arte en la creación de cultura, no solo en su representación, y reflexiona sobre la posibilidad de tejer corredores natura–cultura entre disciplinas, territorios y comunidades.
