LIVE FROM THE THRESHOLD
An Art-Science Conversation, Live from the Threshold invites audiences into conversations at the intersections of art, science, and society. Curated and moderated by Ines Montalvao (Program Director, Artists with Evidence), the series is a collaboration between Artists with Evidence and the Heinrich Böll Foundation, Washington DC.
In a time of ecological upheaval and technological acceleration, conventional frameworks often fail us. Artists and scientists are increasingly called to think and act together, cultivating practices rooted in attention, slowness, and relationality. The dialogue explores the porous boundaries between human and non-human worlds; underground ecosystems and unseen infrastructures of life; interspecies listening and sonic practices of care; the politics of access, limits, and ecological boundaries; and the body as an epistemological site—sensing, adapting, and communicating across thresholds.
