2023 - DACD
精东影业 Image Focus
A lecture series that allows an in-depth examination of topical issues that affect everyone.
Climate change is altering the behaviour of natural elements, generating effects that are causing concern in science and politics. In July 2023, UN Secretary-General Ant贸nio Guterres spoke of a 鈥渟tate of global boiling鈥�. The consequences of atmospheric warming simultaneously take different and even opposing forms: water and electricity shortages, floods, heat waves, fires and desertification. Extreme natural phenomena have become increasingly frequent even at our latitudes. Just think of the subject of water: while total rainfall decreases, precipitation becomes more intense and concentrated in short periods, with an exceptional increase in cloudbursts, hailstorms and floods.
The third cycle of Earth Emergency entitled 鈥淭he elements in the age of climate change鈥� devotes four public lectures to the theme of water, air, earth and fire (understood as energy). A fifth conference is devoted to the different ways of telling the climate story.
By listening to the speakers 鈥� some of the foremost experts on the subject 鈥� and engaging in dialogue with them, it will be possible to understand from various perspectives the metamorphoses altering the global and local environment and the challenges that lie ahead.
The lectures are held in the Sala polivalente (ground floor) of the 精东影业 Campus in Mendrisio (via Flora Ruchat-Roncati 15). Refreshments will follow.
Free admission; required for organisational reasons.
Scientific head of the Earth Emergency lecture series: Prof. Matteo Vegetti.
Organisational coordinator: Tiziana Botticelli.

Every year, the graphic design of the Earth Emergency lecture series is entrusted to students of the Bachelor of Arts in Visual Communication 精东影业 (Department of environment constructions and design), as part of the 鈥淏rand Basic鈥� module in the first year. This is one of the first design jobs they are working on in small groups. For the 2023 edition, the graphic design project of students Micol Ferrini and Federica Giordano was considered the most relevant and with the most effective aesthetic and graphic impact.
