Art historian and curator Paul Ardenne<\/strong> is continuing the Green Soul<\/em><\/strong> series devised for the Fondation, on cultures and imaginaries in the age of the Anthropocene.<\/p>\n

Anthropocene art is fundamentally a creation driven by the idea of renewal. What does it mean to \u2018reconnect\u2019? It means rebuilding links, because they have been distended or broken. It means \u2018to link up\u2019, a term that refers to \u2018religion\u2019 (from the Latin religare), a disposition that is based on faith in something. Faith, on this occasion, in a new contract, the Social Contract of the 21st century, the Socio-Ecological Contract.<\/p>\n

In order to establish this contract, and in addition to faith, several other ingredients are needed: voluntarism, energy, a proven optimism for the idea that a future is possible and that it will no longer be that of a contaminated world, and finally stories, a fabula, a \u2018storytelling\u2019, as we would say today – a sum of \u2018narratives\u2019 that persuasively, stylishly and sensitively support the idea of a future world that will be redeemed, repaired and reinstated in a virtuous trajectory.<\/p>\n

This conference, in a nutshell, sets out to define the nature of the ‘narrative’ specific to the anthropocene culture that we will call positive, the one that seeks renewal, in creative fields such as dance, theatre, music, cinema and even comics. It’s all about close contact, gentle sensuality, slowing down the pace of movement, giving back to nature its own music, rebalancing human-non-human relationships and so on, as part of an ecoculture in search of pacification, where the aim is, in the words of green activist and documentary filmmaker Cyril Dion, \u2018to replace the current dominant, materialistic and consumerist narrative\u2019.<\/p>\n
