Zou het kabinet ook hebben gekeken naar de 30 miljard die ze de fossiele industrie jaarlijks toewerpen? Dat is 14% van alle belastinginkomsten! Lijkt erop dat deze boomers liever de kaasschaaf op de samenleving zetten dan de vervuiler te laten betalen. nos.nl/artikel/247292…

Next week Rachel Carson Center I will introduce how artistic practices can approach the complexity of climate change. From this perspective, I will emphasize the importance of analyzing the visual dimension of climate change within the media and academia. The talk is open to the public.

Thanks for coming out to the Tuesday discussion Rachel Carson Center and the lovely exchange.
