‘Climate emergency is about much more than global warming or melting ice’, says art historian T. J. Demos, who recently gave a lecture in Bergen.

Kunstkritikk met T. J. Demos at Hotel Terminus just hours before his scheduled lecture at the project space Landmark at Bergen Kunsthall on 11 September. Demos is a professor of History of Art and Visual Culture at the University of California and founder and director of the Center for Creative Ecologies. He is currently focusing on a research, exhibition, and book project devoted to the questions, “What comes after the end of the world?” and “How can we create future social justice within capitalist ruins?” He was invited to Norway by Marie Nerland, head of the curatorial initiative Volt, which has hosted a programme of discursive and artistic events around Bergen since 2008.
