Biodiversity and the Cultural Landscape

Contemporary Matters is a student-initiated platform launched in 2018 raising critical awareness on the role of the contemporary in the increasingly transdisciplinary field of art history. We believe that biodiversity constitutes a multifaceted challenge on a global scale. The endangerment thereof impacts all classes, groups, professions and nations, thus highlighting the entanglement of human and non-human agents in our contemporary world and the necessity to put these various affected actors in conversation with each other. In fact, by facilitating an exchange between rather uncustomary combinations of perspectives on the subject of biodiversity, we can perform (bio-)diversity in the very structure of the conference.
